SCA: security update for mcp-atlassian (GHSA-7r34-79r5-rcc9)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438617

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior
 to version 0.17.0, an unauthenticated attacker who can reach the mcp-atlassian HTTP endpoint can force the
 server process to make outbound HTTP requests to an arbitrary attacker-controlled URL by supplying two
 custom HTTP headers without an `Authorization` header. No authentication is required. The vulnerability
 exists in the HTTP middleware and dependency injection layer — not in any MCP tool handler - making it
 invisible to tool-level code analysis. In cloud deployments, this could enable theft of IAM role
 credentials via the instance metadata endpoint (`169[.]254[.]169[.]254`). In any HTTP deployment it
 enables internal network reconnaissance and injection of attacker-controlled content into LLM tool
 results. Version 0.17.0 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-27826)

Solution

Update the mcp-atlassian library and its related packages to version 0.17.0 or later.
