Nexus Repository 3 includes an endpoint intended for changing the administrator password during initial onboarding. This endpoint does not verify that onboarding is still in progress and relies only on the presence of a local onboarding artifact. Consequently, any account with the nexus:* permission can invoke this endpoint outside the onboarding process to change the administrator password. Additionally, existing sessions are not invalidated after the password change, potentially allowing continued access with old credentials.

Nexus Repository 3 contained an endpoint used to change the administrator account password during initial onboarding. This endpoint did not verify that onboarding was still in progress before allowing the password change, relying instead on the presence of a local onboarding artifact. As a result, an account holding the nexus:* permission could invoke the endpoint outside the intended onboarding flow to replace the administrator password, and existing sessions were not invalidated after the change.
