Babel is a compiler for writing next generation JavaScript. From 7.12.0 to before 7.29.4 and 8.0.0-alpha.13, using Babel to compile code that was specifically crafted by an attacker can cause Babel to generate output code that executes arbitrary code. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.29.4 and 8.0.0-alpha.13.

According to its self-reported version number, the Atlassian Jira application running on the remote host is prior to 10.3.25 or 10.4.x prior to 11.3.11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including flaws in bundled third-party dependencies :

- Multiple broken authentication and session management vulnerabilities in the bundled Bouncy Castle dependency. (CVE-2026-8763, CVE-2026-12803, CVE-2026-12802, CVE-2026-12816, CVE-2026-59642, CVE-2026-59639)
