The email client in Jira Server and Data Center before version 7.13.16, from 8.5.0 before 8.5.7, from 8.8.0 before 8.8.2, and from 8.9.0 before 8.9.1 allows remote attackers to access outgoing emails between a Jira instance and the SMTP server via man-in-the-middle (MITM) vulnerability.

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Jira hosted on the remote web server is prior to 8.5.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A vulnerability which permits remote attackers to access outgoing emails between a Jira instance and the SMTP server via man-in-the-middle (MITM) vulnerability (CVE-2020-14168).

- A flaw which permits remote attackers to impact the application's availability via a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in Dashboard & Gadgets (CVE-2020-14167).

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Jira hosted on the remote web server is prior to 7.13.14, or version 8.5.x prior to 8.5.5, 8.8.x prior to 8.8.2, or 8.9.x prior to 8.9.1. It is, therefore, affected by a man-in-the-middle (MitM) vulnerability in the email client of Jira Server and Data Center. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this in order to access outgoing emails between a Jira instance and the SMTP server.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
