Synopsis

Atlassian Jira 8.14.x < 8.16.1 Arbitrary File Read

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Jira hosted on the remote web server is prior to 8.5.14, 8.6.x < 8.13.6 or 8.14.x < 8.16.1. It is, therefore, affected by a path traversal vulnerability in the /WEB-INF/web.xml endpoint allowing remote attackers to read particular files.

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 Jira version 8.16.1 or later.
