Atlassian JIRA < 4.2.2 Open Redirect

medium Nessus Plugin ID 85216

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a web application that is potentially affected by an open redirect vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of Atlassian JIRA hosted on the remote web server is prior to version 4.2.2. It is, therefore, potentially affected by an open redirect vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to an unspecified parameter. A remote attacker, by enticing a user into following a crafted URL, can exploit this vulnerability to redirect the user to an attacker-controlled website.

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 4.2.2 or later, or apply the vendor supplied patch if running JIRA version 4.1.2.
