CVE-2026-113371: Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 signing passphrase disclosure in REST endpoint

CVE-2026-113371 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-04

Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 is a software package manager that organizations use to host and manage dependencies for their applications. A vulnerability allows users with read-only access to APT or YUM repository settings to retrieve the signing passphrase through an internal API endpoint, exposing a sensitive credential that should require edit privileges to access. An attacker with read-only repository access could use this passphrase to forge or tamper with signed packages.

Technologies: Sonatype Nexus Repository 3. Vendors: Sonatype.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an information disclosure flaw in Nexus Repository 3's REST API endpoint for APT and YUM repository management. A user account with read-only (view) privileges on a repository configuration can query an internal REST endpoint and retrieve the repository's signing passphrase without requiring edit or administrative privileges. No authentication bypass is needed; the flaw is a broken access control where the API fails to enforce privilege escalation checks.
