Atlassian has released security updates to address four critical vulnerabilities tracked as CVE-2022-1471, CVE-2023-22522, CVE-2023-22523, and CVE-2023-22524. On successful exploitation, all four vulnerabilities allow remote code execution. The vulnerabilities affect products, including Confluence, Jira, Bitbucket servers, and a companion app for macOS.
Atlassian has not warned about the active exploitation of any of the vulnerabilities.
CVE-2023-22522: Confluence Data Center and Confluence Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9. An authenticated attacker, including one with anonymous access, can insert unauthorized user input into a Confluence page by using the Template Injection vulnerability. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to perform remote code execution on target instances.
CVE-2023-22523: Assets Discovery Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8. The vulnerability exists between the Assets Discovery application (formerly known as Insight Discovery) and the Assets Discovery agent. Assets Discovery is a stand-alone network scanning tool that works with Jira Service Management Cloud, Data Centre, or Server and can be downloaded from the Atlassian Marketplace. It can also be utilized without an agent.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to perform privileged Remote Code Execution on instances with the Assets Discovery agent installed.
CVE-2023-22524: Atlassian Companion App for MacOS Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.6. An attacker may use WebSockets to bypass Atlassian Companion’s blocklist and MacOS Gatekeeper to perform code execution. The Atlassian Companion App is an optional desktop application that enhances the file editing experience in the Confluence Data Center and Server. It enables users to edit files in their preferred desktop application before automatically saving those files to their Confluence instances.
CVE-2022-1471: SnakeYAML Library Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8. The deserialization flaw in the SnakeYAML library for Java may allow an attacker to perform remote code execution on target instances. The SnakeYAML library is used in various Atlassian Data Center and Server products, including Bitbucket Server, Jira Service Management Data Center, Jira Software Data Center, and Bitbucket Server.
