Atlassian JIRA < 6.1.4 Privilege Escalation

medium Nessus Plugin ID 73274

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a web application that is potentially affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of Atlassian JIRA hosted on the remote web server is prior to 6.1.4. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability, which allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to commit actions on behalf of any authorized user.

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 JIRA 6.1.4 or later.
