Description

** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in Apache Archiva.

Apache Archiva has a setting to disable user registration, however this restriction can be bypassed.

You are recommended to look into migrating to a different solution, or isolate your instance from any untrusted users.
