JFrog Artifactory has a weakness in its authentication system that allows someone without login credentials to gain full admin access to the system under default settings. This is critical because an attacker can take complete control of the repository and all stored software.
A CWE-287 authentication bypass vulnerability in JFrog Artifactory permits unauthenticated network access to obtain administrative privileges under default configuration. The attack vector is network-based with no authentication required; the vulnerability exists in the default state without additional prerequisites. Successful exploitation grants full administrative access to the Artifactory instance.
