Last modified

CVE-2026-14646 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.9/10 on the CVSS scale. Nexus Repository 3 did not apply its existing Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) protections to HTTP redirect targets returned by proxy repository upstream servers. Any user with read access to a proxy repository backed by an attacker-controlled or compromised upstream server — including an anonymous user, if anonymous access is enabled — could receive a response from an internal network address or cloud metadata endpoint as repository content, potentially exposing sensitive information such as cloud IAM credentials.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
