Atlassian Confluence 7.5.x < 7.8.3 Arbitrary File Read

medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 112862

Synopsis

Atlassian Confluence 7.5.x < 7.8.3 Arbitrary File Read

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Atlassian Confluence application running on the remote host is prior to 6.13.18, 6.14.x < 7.4.6 or 7.5.x < 7.8.3. It is, therefore, affected by an incorrect path access check vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files within WEB-INF and META-INF directories.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Atlassian Confluence version 7.8.3 or later.
