Atlassian Jira < 8.20.3 Cross-Site Scripting

medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 113280

Synopsis

Atlassian Jira < 8.20.3 Cross-Site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Jira hosted on the remote web server is prior to 8.20.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability allowing remote attackers with Roadmaps Administrator permissions to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript via a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (SXSS) vulnerability in the /rest/jpo/1.0/hierarchyConfiguration endpoint.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Atlassian Jira version 8.20.3 or later.
