Synopsis

Atlassian Jira < 5.0.1 Arbitrary File Reads

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Jira hosted on the remote web server is prior to 5.0.1. It does, therefore, not properly restrict the capabilities of third-party XML parsers, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or 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 5.0.1 or later.
