high Nessus Plugin ID 213704

Synopsis

The remote Atlassian Jira host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of Atlassian Jira Server running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JRASERVER-78199 advisory.

 - DOMPurify is a DOM-only, super-fast, uber-tolerant XSS sanitizer for HTML, MathML and SVG. It has been discovered that malicious HTML using special nesting techniques can bypass the depth checking added to DOMPurify in recent releases. It was also possible to use Prototype Pollution to weaken the depth check.
 This renders dompurify unable to avoid cross site scripting (XSS) attacks. This issue has been addressed in versions 2.5.4 and 3.1.3 of DOMPurify. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-45801)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Atlassian Jira version 9.4.28, 9.12.15, 9.17.4, 10.1.1 or later.
