CVE-2019-17560

Published: 30 March 2020

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.

Notes

AuthorNote

Ubuntu users probably do not have privileges for this to work.
Typically applications are updated via apt update or snap refresh. This
sounds more like a Windows or OS X issue.

Mitigation

Disable auto-update if it exists.
