Atlassian Jira < 8.13.19 / 8.14.x < 8.20.7 / 8.21.x < 8.22.1 RCE (JRASERVER-73582)

high Nessus Plugin ID 165178

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a web application that is affected by remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Jira hosted on the remote web server is affected by remote code execution vulnerability. 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. In this case the security improvement was to protect against using the XStream library to be able to execute arbitrary code in velocity templates.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Atlassian Jira version 8.13.19, 8.20.7, or 8.22.1 or later.
