Atlassian Jira 6.5.x < 6.5.0.2 Software Tempo Plugin Xml Denial Of Service

medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 113820

Synopsis

Atlassian Jira 6.5.x < 6.5.0.2 Software Tempo Plugin Xml Denial Of Service

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Jira hosted on the remote web server is prior to 6.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by a issue in the TM Software Tempo Plugin which does not properly restrict the capabilities of 3rd party XML parsers, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via unspecified vectors.

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 6.5.0.2 or later.
