Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a web application that is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian JIRA hosted on the remote web server is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- Atlassian JIRA contains a flaw that allows a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the issue collector does not properly sanitize input to error messages for custom fields before returning it to users. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to create a specially crafted request that executes arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server. (CVE-2018-5230)
- Atlassian JIRA contains a flaw in the ForgotLoginDetails resource that is triggered during the handling of a specially crafted request. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5231)

Solution

Upgrade to Atlassian JIRA version 7.6.6 / 7.7.4 / 7.8.4 / 7.9.2 or later.
