Atlassian JIRA < 6.0.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 73273

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 version of Atlassian JIRA hosted on the remote web server is prior to version 6.0.5. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the Admin Panel due to a failure to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'name' parameter in file deleteuserconfirm.jsp.
A remote attacker can exploit this, by using a crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser. (CVE-2013-5319)

- A flaw exists in the Importers plugin due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input, which allows traversing outside a restricted path. A remote, unauthenticated attacker, using a crafted request, can exploit this vulnerability to create files in arbitrary directories in the JIRA installation. This vulnerability only affects JIRA running on the Windows OS.
(CVE-2014-2313)

Note that the Importers plugin for JIRA is also affected by this vulnerability; however, Nessus did not did confirm that this plugin is installed.

Solution

Upgrade to JIRA 6.0.5 or later, and upgrade or disable the Importers plugin.
