Synopsis

Atlassian Confluence 4.3.x < 6.2.1 Access Restriction Bypass using watch notifications

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Atlassian Confluence application running on the remote host is prior to version 6.2.1. It is, therefore, affected by access restriction bypass using watch notifications which may permit an attacker to receive workbox notifications containing the content of new comments to a page, even if they do not have permission to view the page itself.

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 6.2.1 or later.
