AnalysisAI
Code injection via the Apache Nutch Server REST API allows low-privileged remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on hosts running Nutch versions 1.11 through 1.22. The vulnerability chains missing authorization controls with unsafe reflection and dynamic code execution in the Nutch REST API, enabling full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the Nutch Server REST API to be actively running - this is an optional component not present in all Nutch deployments and not enabled by default in all configurations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.8 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low-level credentials, resulting in full system impact - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in leszno operating an internal Nutch crawl cluster should treat this as a priority remediation if the REST API is network-accessible. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Apache Nutch 1.23, which resolves this vulnerability by removing the Nutch Server REST API component from the distribution. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all systems running Apache Nutch Server, identify versions 1.11-1.22, and determine which systems expose the REST API to untrusted networks. …
