Atlassian JIRA < 7.6.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 122596

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:

- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2017-18097, CVE-2017-18098)

- A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists, allowing an attacker to potentially reveal sensitive internal data. (CVE-2017-16865)

Solution

Upgrade to Atlassian JIRA version 7.6.1 or later.
