Affected versions of Atlassian Crowd allow an attacker to authenticate as the crowd application via security misconfiguration and subsequent ability to call privileged endpoints in Crowd's REST API under the {{usermanagement}} path. This vulnerability can only be exploited by IPs specified under the crowd application allowlist in the Remote Addresses configuration, which is {{none}} by default. The affected versions are all versions 3.x.x, versions 4.x.x before version 4.4.4, and versions 5.x.x before 5.0.3

The version of Atlassian Crowd installed on the remote host is 3.x, 4.x prior to 4.4.4, or 5.x prior to 5.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by a security bypass vulnerability due to security misconfiguration. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by authenticating as the crowd application via the security misconfiguration, and calling privileged endpoints in Crowd's REST API under the {{usermanagement}} path.

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

According to its self-reported version number, the Atlassian Crowd application running on the remote host is affected by a misconfiguration vulnerability. This vulnerability allows an attacker to authenticate as the crowd application via security misconfiguration and subsequent ability to call privileged endpoints in Crowd's REST API.

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