Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a web application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian JIRA hosted on the remote web server is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the number range searcher component 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.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version

Solution

Upgrade to Atlassian JIRA version 8.5.14 / 8.13.6 / 8.16.1 / 8.17.0 or later.
