CVE-2026-17596
Status: AnalyzedMedium (6.3)—
Nexus Repository 3 was found to be vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS). A user with the nexus:blobstores:create or nexus:blobstores:update permission could set a blob store name containing malicious script content, which would later execute in the browser of another user viewing system health-check status. This issue has been fixed in version 3.95.0.
CVSS
- Version: 4.0
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X
- Base score: 6.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.24%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 13
- Score date: 10/5/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
