Atlassian Confluence 8.0 < 8.5.4 (CONFSERVER-93833) (Direct Check)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 189636

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The Atlassian Confluence Server running on the remote host has a confirmed vulnerability as referenced in the CONFSERVER-93833 advisory.

A template injection vulnerability on older versions of Confluence Data Center and Server allows an unauthenticated attacker to achieve RCE on an affected instance. Customers using an affected version must take immediate action. Most recent supported versions of Confluence Data Center and Server are not affected by this vulnerability as it was ultimately mitigated during regular version updates. However, Atlassian recommends that customers take care to install the latest version to protect their instances from non-critical vulnerabilities outlined in Atlassian's January Security Bulletin.

Solution

Upgrade to Atlassian Confluence Server 8.6.0, 8.5.4, 8.7.1 or later.
