Atlassian JIRA ConfigureReport.jspa 'reportKey' Information Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 48263

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a web application that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The Atlassian JIRA installation hosted on the remote web server is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability, which an unauthenticated attacker can exploit, by setting the 'reportKey' parameter in ConfigureReport.jspa to an invalid value, to gain access to sensitive information, such as operating system version, database version, or build version from the remote system.

This version of JIRA is also reportedly affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities; however, Nessus has not tested for these issues.

Solution

Modify the JIRA 500 error page as discussed in the vendor's knowledge base article.
