A low-privileged user may poison cached artifact metadata under specific conditions, potentially causing consumers to retrieve untrusted content.
AnalysisAI
Cache metadata poisoning in JFrog Artifactory enables a low-privileged authenticated user to corrupt cached artifact metadata entries, causing downstream consumers - including CI/CD pipelines and development toolchains - to silently retrieve untrusted or attacker-influenced content. All versions of Artifactory are listed as affected per the CPE wildcard, making this a broad supply chain integrity concern for organizations relying on Artifactory as a central repository manager. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account on the targeted Artifactory instance, as confirmed by the PR:L metric in the CVSS vector - unauthenticated exploitation is not indicated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) yields a score of 8.8 and presents this as low-complexity, network-accessible exploitation requiring only a low-privileged account. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with a low-privileged Artifactory account submits crafted artifact metadata over the network that exploits the insufficient input validation to overwrite or inject entries into the shared metadata cache. Subsequently, other users, automated build agents, or release pipelines request artifact resolution, receive the poisoned metadata, and are directed to retrieve untrusted or attacker-controlled content - potentially introducing malicious binaries into build outputs or production deployments without any anomalous authentication event. |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade JFrog Artifactory to the patched version identified in JFrog's official advisory at https://docs.jfrog.com/releases/docs/jfrog-security-advisories and the self-managed release notes at https://docs.jfrog.com/releases/docs/artifactory-self-managed-releases - the exact fixed version must be retrieved from those sources, as it is not independently confirmed in the available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all Artifactory instances across your environment and assess which actively serve artifacts to CI/CD pipelines and development workflows; simultaneously audit existing users to identify all low-privileged accounts and their access scope. …
