Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Atlassian Confluence application running on the remote host is prior to 6.6.13, 6.7.x prior to 6.12.4, 6.13.x prior to 6.13.4, 6.14.x prior to 6.14.3 or 6.15.x prior to 6.15.2. It is, therefore, affected by a directory traversal vulnerability which exists in download all attachments component. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a URI that contains directory traversal characters, to write files to arbitrary locations which may lead to remote code execution.

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

Solution
