CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedSonatype Nexus Repository 3 contains a vulnerability in its blobstore group management REST API endpoints, allowing users with only the nexus:blobstores:create permission to perform actions that should require the higher-level nexus:blobstores:update permission. This misconfiguration can lead to unauthorized modifications of blobstore settings, potentially compromising the integrity of the repository. Organizations using Nexus Repository 3 should prioritize addressing this issue to prevent unauthorized access and maintain secure blobstore management.
Original NVD Description
A vulnerability was identified in Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 in which two blobstore group management REST API endpoints did not correctly enforce the intended authorization check. A user granted only the nexus:blobstores:create permission could invoke these endpoints to convert an existing blobstore into a group blobstore, an action that should require the nexus:blobstores:update permission instead. This could result in unauthorized modification of blobstore configuration without administrator approval. The nexus:blobstores:create permission is a named permission that must be explicitly granted by an administrator; it is not held by default.
