Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-5475 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.sonatype.nexus.plugins:nexus-yum-repository-plugin (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.14.14\n- org.sonatype.nexus.plugins:nexus-yum-repository-plugin (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.14.14\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-5475/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-5475/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-5475","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-5475/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-5475","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g5m7-57ph-j6p8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Nexus Repository Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote code execution in Nexus Repository Manager via command injection in the Yum Repository Plugin when processing configuration data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"nexus_repository_manager","vendor":"sonatype"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"The Nexus Yum Repository Plugin in v2 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution when instances using CommandLineExecutor.java are supplied vulnerable data, such as the Yum Configuration Capability.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2019-09-25","github_poc":3,"max_poc_stars":7,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2019-09-25T16:22:56Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/jaychouzzk/CVE-2019-5475-Nexus-Repository-Manager-","stars":7,"title":null},{"date":"2020-12-16T14:03:16Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/EXP-Docs/CVE-2019-5475","stars":5,"title":"CVE-2019-5475 靶场： RCE 命令注入漏洞"},{"date":"2020-04-12T15:49:36Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/rabbitmask/CVE-2019-5475-EXP","stars":4,"title":"CVE-2019-5475-EXP 【Nexus Repository Manager 2.x远程命令执行漏洞】"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"OS Command Injection in Nexus Yum Repository Plugin","id":"CVE-2019-5475","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"sonatype:nexus_repository_manager","products":["sonatype:nexus_repository_manager"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2019"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in lookup.nextcloud.com","id":"CVE-2019-5476"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.14.14"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.sonatype.nexus.plugins:nexus-yum-repository-plugin","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-g5m7-57ph-j6p8"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.14.14"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.sonatype.nexus.plugins:nexus-yum-repository-plugin","purl":"pkg:maven/org.sonatype.nexus.plugins/nexus-yum-repository-plugin","source":"GHSA-g5m7-57ph-j6p8"}],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in GitLab EE","id":"CVE-2019-5474"},"products":["Nexus Repository Manager"],"published":"2019-09-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager Incorrect Access Control","id":"CVE-2019-7238","kev_date_added":"2021-12-10","published":"2019-03-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9629","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17717","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-17"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Nexus Repository 3 - Authenticated Remote Code Execution via Task Property Injection","id":"CVE-2026-3199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-08"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Nexus Repository 3 - Hardcoded Credential in Internal Database Component","id":"CVE-2026-5189","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-15"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"Nexus Repository 3 - Wildcard Privilege Update Self-Escalation to Administrator","id":"CVE-2026-17601","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-07"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-15871","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-31"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote code execution in Nexus Repository Manager via command injection in the Yum Repository Plugin when processing configuration data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-5475/"}
