Description
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.
