Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-17601 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2026-17601/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17601/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-17601","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17601/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-17601","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fpjc-8wg6-ph5j","MINI-fmgg-mxmm-hxfv","MINI-v55q-cf94-fq8v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Nexus Repository 3","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A user with privilege update permissions can self-escalate to administrator by modifying wildcard privileges, requiring immediate patching for Nexus Repository 3 administrators.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Sonatype","cpe":[{"product":"nexus_repository_manager","vendor":"sonatype"}],"cvss":{"score":8.9,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:L","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"A user holding a permission to update privilege definitions could modify a wildcard privilege already assigned to their own role to grant broader permissions than they were authorized to hold, including full administrative access, without any additional authorization check or role reassignment.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Nexus Repository 3 - Wildcard Privilege Update Self-Escalation to Administrator","id":"CVE-2026-17601","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sonatype:nexus_repository_manager","products":["sonatype:nexus_repository_manager"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SSL Zen \u003c= 4.7.42 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Path Traversal to Arbitrary File Read via 'file_name' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-17602"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Nexus Repository 3 - Session Not Invalidated on User Account Deletion or Deactivation","id":"CVE-2026-17600"},"products":["Nexus Repository 3"],"published":"2026-08-07","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":8.8,"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":"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-07","vendors":["Sonatype"]},"summary":"A user with privilege update permissions can self-escalate to administrator by modifying wildcard privileges, requiring immediate patching for Nexus Repository 3 administrators.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17601/"}
