In plain language

AI Act now

CVE-2026-65923 is a JFrog Artifactory flaw where a user with limited repository access may trick the server into making unintended web requests, potentially exposing or changing sensitive data; if you run Artifactory and allow Ansible repository features, you should act now.

Executive summary

In JFrog Artifactory (CVE-2026-65923), an input validation weakness (CWE-918) in Ansible repository handling can enable a user—under specific repository access conditions—to trigger server-side request forgery (SSRF) that leads to unintended outbound requests, with demonstrated real-world exploitation reported during an internal test.

What to do now

  1. Check your JFrog Artifactory version and whether you use/enable Ansible repository handling.
  2. Confirm whether any users or automation can create or manipulate Ansible repositories or repository-related inputs (the attack requires low authentication and specific repository access conditions).
  3. Upgrade Artifactory to one of the fixed versions: 7.111.18, 7.117.25, 7.125.18, 7.133.27, 7.146.34, or 7.161.15.
  4. After upgrading, review server logs for unusual outbound requests or denied/blocked attempts related to repository handling.
  5. If you cannot upgrade immediately, restrict who can access Ansible repositories and remove unnecessary repository permissions until you can patch.
