CVE-2020-29436
Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager 3.x before 3.29.0 allows a user with admin privileges to configure the system to gain access to content outside of NXRM via an XXE vulnerability.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.50%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
