Synopsis

Atlassian Confluence < 6.15.2 Cross-Site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Atlassian Confluence application running on the remote host is prior to 6.15.2. It is, therefore, affected by a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the applinkStartingUrl parameter.

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 6.15.2 or later.
