Synopsis

The Nexus Repository Manager server running on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager server application running on the remote host is version 3.x prior to 3.15.0. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to insufficient access controls.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands.
