Atlassian Confluence 6.14.x < 6.15.8 Local File Disclosure

high Web App Scanning Plugin ID 112878

Synopsis

Atlassian Confluence 6.14.x < 6.15.8 Local File Disclosure

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Atlassian Confluence application running on the remote host is 6.1.x < 6.6.16, 6.7.x < 6.13.7 or 6.14.x < 6.15.8. It is, therefore, affected by a local file disclosure vulnerability in the page export function. A remote attacker who has Add Page space permission would be able to read arbitrary files in the <install-directory>/confluence/WEB-INF/ directory and it's subdirectories.

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 6.15.8 or later.
