Summary

Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager versions 3.0.0 through 3.70.5 contain hard-coded credentials (CWE-798), allowing an unauthenticated attacker with network access to gain unauthorized read/write access to the internal database and execute arbitrary OS commands as the Nexus process user. Exploitation requires the non-default nexus.orient.binaryListenerEnabled=true configuration.

Risk Assessment

Risk of full compromise of the Nexus system, including data access and command execution, under certain configuration conditions.

Recommendation

Upgrade to a version newer than 3.70.5 and disable nexus.orient.binaryListenerEnabled if not required.
