CVE-2019-3399
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe BrowseProjects.jspa resource in Jira before version 7.13.2, and from version 8.0.0 before version 8.0.2 allows remote attackers to see information for archived projects through a missing authorisation check.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThis is an information disclosure vulnerability in Atlassian Jira. The BrowseProjects.jspa resource lacks proper authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to view information about archived projects they should not have access to. The vulnerability affects Jira versions before 7.13.2 and from 8.0.0 before 8.0.2.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Determine installed Jira versionAccess the Jira administration panel and navigate to Jira settings > Troubleshooting and support > System info, or check the <jira-install>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/jira/version.properties file for the jira.version propertyAffected if The installed version is less than 7.13.2, or greater than or equal to 8.0.0 but less than 8.0.2
-
Verify Jira web application is accessibleConfirm the Jira web interface is reachable at the base URL and the BrowseProjects.jspa endpoint responds (e.g., https://your-jira-host/browse/projects.jspa)Affected if The Jira web application is exposed and responds to requests
-
Check for archived projectsAs an administrator, navigate to Jira administration > Projects > View all projects, or query the database table 'project' for records where 'archived' = trueAffected if There are archived projects configured in the Jira instance
The environment is affected if Jira version is below 7.13.2 or between 8.0.0 and 8.0.2 (inclusive), and the Jira web interface is accessible with archived projects present.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor data7.13.28.0.2
Update Jira to version 7.13.2 or later, or version 8.0.2 or later to apply the vendor patch. As this is a server-side web application vulnerability affecting a well-defined component, the fix is a straightforward version upgrade.
