CVE-2026-17598: CWE-915 Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes in Sonatype Nexus Repository 3
Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 did not properly filter internal configuration keys from user-supplied task properties when creating or updating a scheduled task through the administrative UI. An account holding permission to create at least one scheduled task type could supply a crafted property value that caused the system to overwrite the configuration of an unrelated, existing task instead of creating a new one.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 version 3.91.0 contains a CWE-915 vulnerability where the system does not properly filter internal configuration keys from user-supplied properties during scheduled task creation or update via the administrative UI. An attacker with limited privileges to create scheduled tasks can craft property values that cause the system to overwrite configurations of unrelated existing tasks, potentially leading to unintended task behavior or disruption.
Potential Impact
An attacker with permission to create scheduled tasks can overwrite the configuration of unrelated existing tasks. This could lead to disruption or manipulation of scheduled task operations within Nexus Repository 3. The vulnerability requires low privileges (permission to create at least one scheduled task type) and no user interaction, but the overall impact is limited to task configuration modification.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround is currently documented. Until a patch is available, restrict permissions to create scheduled tasks to trusted administrators only.
