Apache NetBeans follows this pattern. This causes the code of the build script to be invoked at load time of the project. Apache NetBeans up to and including 12.0 did not request consent from the user for the analysis of the project at load time. This in turn will run potentially malicious code, from an external source, without the consent of the user.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r0fb2ba21a0469f64c2dff945dbe68f7b1122e1bff2b2b46271682406%40%3Cnotifications.netbeans.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ra81cdcf325bf4ea085c178f95ed6b50d4f1c095be50577b2f9b88984%40%3Cnotifications.netbeans.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rbb8ea1b684e73107a0a6a30245ad6112bec2e6e171368c808e69217e%40%3Cannounce.netbeans.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r0fb2ba21a0469f64c2dff945dbe68f7b1122e1bff2b2b46271682406%40%3Cnotifications.netbeans.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ra81cdcf325bf4ea085c178f95ed6b50d4f1c095be50577b2f9b88984%40%3Cnotifications.netbeans.apache.org%3E"],"products":["apache:netbeans"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:09:20.498348299+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2020-11986","score":0.09931,"percentile":0.95591,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
