Summary
Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 can leak the signing passphrase of APT or YUM repositories to a low-privileged account that only has read access for administering the repository, without needing permission to edit it. An attacker can reach this remotely over the network with only a low level of login, and no user action is required.
Read the original description
Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 returns the signing passphrase of an APT or YUM repository, through an internal REST endpoint, to a user account that holds only the read privilege for administering that repository. The account does not need the privilege to edit the repository.
