Synopsis

Atlassian Jira < 8.5.9 WYSIWYG Editor Cross-Site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Jira hosted on the remote web server is prior to 8.5.9 or 8.6.x prior to 8.8.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability which permits remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript via a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the WYSIWYG editor.

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 8.5.9 or later.
