Summary

Apache NetBeans (incubating) version 9.0 is susceptible to a remote command execution vulnerability due to improper handling of the Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) interpretation. The use of the nashorn script engine enables the environment of the JavaScript execution to leak privileged objects, which can be exploited to bypass preset execution limits. Should a different script engine be utilized, the absence of execution restrictions further exacerbates the risk, allowing for remote code execution through both vectors.

Affected Version(s)
