NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nexus3 package and not the nexus3 package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Nexus Repository 3 contained an endpoint used to change the administrator account password during initial onboarding. This endpoint did not verify that onboarding was still in progress before allowing the password change, relying instead on the presence of a local onboarding artifact. As a result, an account holding the nexus:* permission could invoke the endpoint outside the intended onboarding flow to replace the administrator password, and existing sessions were not invalidated after the change.
