NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream netbeans package and not the netbeans package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0 NetBeans Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) interpretation is vulnerable for remote command execution (RCE). Using the nashorn script engine the environment of the javascript execution for the Proxy Auto-Configuration leaks privileged objects, that can be used to circumvent the execution limits. If a different script engine was used, no execution limits were in place. Both vectors allow remote code execution.
