Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

The "Apache NetBeans" autoupdate system does not validate SSL certificates and hostnames for https based downloads. This allows an attacker to intercept downloads of autoupdates and modify the download, potentially injecting malicious code. "Apache NetBeans" versions up to and including 11.2 are affected by this vulnerability. NetBeans releases before the Apache transition started may also be affected.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2019-17560

Advisory: Improper Certificate Validation in Apache Netbeans
IDs: CVE-2019-17560, GHSA-7c2m-vwxw-5qww
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2019-17560 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:10 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.codehaus.mevenide:netbeans: affected <= 3.1.4

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.codehaus.mevenide:netbeans: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on org.codehaus.mevenide:netbeans.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-7c2m-vwxw-5qww (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-7c2m-vwxw-5qww lists affected ranges: Maven org.codehaus.mevenide:netbeans >=0 <=3.1.4)
