CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedNexus Repository 3 is vulnerable to a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in its email configuration verification feature, allowing users with the nexus:settings:update permission to submit arbitrary host and port values. This could enable attackers to probe internal network addresses, potentially exposing sensitive information about the network's structure and reachable services. Organizations using Nexus Repository 3 CE/Pro versions up to 3.94.1 should prioritize upgrading to version 3.95.0 to mitigate this risk.
Original NVD Description
Nexus Repository 3 contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the email configuration verification feature. A user holding the nexus:settings:update permission could submit arbitrary host and port values to the email test/verification endpoint, causing the server to attempt outbound network connections to internal or otherwise restricted network addresses. Differences in the server's response could be used to infer whether internal hosts and ports are reachable. This issue affects Nexus Repository 3 CE/Pro versions up to and including 3.94.1, and is fixed in version 3.95.0.
