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 · unedited
A vulnerability in multiple Atlassian products allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to bypass Servlet Filters used by first and third party apps. The impact depends on which filters are used by each app, and how the filters are used. This vulnerability can result in authentication bypass and cross-site scripting. Atlassian has released updates that fix the root cause of this vulnerability, but has not exhaustively enumerated all potential consequences of this vulnerability. Atlassian Bamboo versions are affected before 8.0.9, from 8.1.0 before 8.1.8, and from 8.2.0 before 8.2.4. Atlassian Bitbucket versions are affected before 7.6.16, from 7.7.0 before 7.17.8, from 7.18.0 before 7.19.5, from 7.20.0 before 7.20.2, from 7.21.0 before 7.21.2, and versions 8.0.0 and 8.1.0. Atlassian Confluence versions are affected before 7.4.17, from 7.5.0 before 7.13.7, from 7.14.0 before 7.14.3, from 7.15.0 before 7.15.2, from 7.16.0 before 7.16.4, from 7.17.0 before 7.17.4, and version 7.21.0. Atlassian Crowd versions are affected before 4.3.8, from 4.4.0 before 4.4.2, and version 5.0.0. Atlassian Fisheye and Crucible versions before 4.8.10 are affected. Atlassian Jira versions are affected before 8.13.22, from 8.14.0 before 8.20.10, and from 8.21.0 before 8.22.4. Atlassian Jira Service Management versions are affected before 4.13.22, from 4.14.0 before 4.20.10, and from 4.21.0 before 4.22.4.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to the latest LTS or latest stable release in your product line (e.g., Jira 8.22.4+, Confluence 7.21.0+, Bitbucket 7.21.2+, Bamboo 8.2.4+)

  1. 1. Identify the affected Atlassian product and current installed version in your environment.
  2. 2. Determine the appropriate upgrade target based on your current major version branch.
  3. 3. Review Atlassian upgrade documentation and release notes for the target version.
  4. 4. Perform a full backup of your Atlassian instance and database before upgrading.
  5. 5. Schedule a maintenance window as upgrades may require downtime.
  6. 6. Download and install the appropriate fixed version for your product:
  7. - For Bamboo: upgrade to 7.2.10, 8.0.9, 8.1.8, or 8.2.4 (or later)
  8. - For Bitbucket: upgrade to 7.6.16, 7.17.8, 7.19.5, 7.20.2, or 7.21.2 (or later)
Caveat Review Atlassian upgrade notes for your specific version jump; some upgrades may require intermediate steps or have migration considerations. Ensure compatibility with your Java version and plugins/add-ons.
