This issue exists to document that a security improvement in the way that Jira Server and Data Center use templates has been implemented. Affected versions of Atlassian Jira Server and Data Center allowed remote attackers with system administrator permissions to execute arbitrary code via Template Injection leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in the Email Templates feature. The affected versions are before version 8.13.15, and from version 8.14.0 before 8.20.3.

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Jira hosted on the remote web server is prior to 8.13.15 or 8.14.x prior to 8.20.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability allowing remote attackers with administrator permissions to execute arbitrary code via Template Injection leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in the Email Templates feature.

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 8.13.15 or 8.14.x prior to 8.20.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A template injection leading to remote code execution in the Email Templates feature allowing remote attackers with administrator permissions to execute arbitrary code.

 - A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the /rest/collectors/1.0/template/custom endpoint allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript.

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

The version of Atlassian Jira installed on the remote host is prior to < 8.13.15 / 8.14.x < 8.20.3 / 8.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JRASERVER-73072 advisory.

  - Template Injection in Email Templates leads to code execution on Jira Service Management Server -     CVE-2021-43944 (CVE-2021-43944)

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