Atlassian Patches Vulnerabilities in Bamboo, Confluence, Crowd, Jira

Atlassian has released patches for nine high-severity vulnerabilities in Bamboo, Confluence, Crowd, and Jira products.

Atlassian has published its August 2024 security bulletin, which details nine high-severity vulnerabilities impacting Bamboo, Confluence, Crowd, and Jira products.

Bamboo Data Center and Server received patches for two high-severity flaws, including an authenticated remote code execution bug tracked as CVE-2024-21689.

The second issue, a denial-of-service (DoS) security defect, impacts the Bouncy Castle Java dependency used by the product. Tracked as CVE-2024-29857, it can be exploited without authentication.

Patches released for Confluence Data Center and Server resolve two high-severity security defects, including a DoS issue in Apache Tomcat (CVE-2024-34750) that can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers.

The second flaw is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF) issue tracked as CVE-2024-21690, which could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary HTML or JavaScript code in a victim’s browser.

The attacker could “force an end user to execute unwanted actions on a web application in which they’re currently authenticated”, the company explains.

Atlassian resolved three high-severity SSRF bugs in Crowd Data Center and Server. Tracked as CVE-2024-22259, CVE-2024-22243, and CVE-2024-22262, all three affect the Spring Framework used by the product.

The company also announced patches for a high-severity flaw in the Apache Tomcat dependency of Jira Data Center and Server and Jira Service Management Data Center and Server. Tracked as CVE-2024-34750, the issue can be exploited to cause a DoS condition.
