Atlassian has released updates to address three security flaws impacting its Confluence Server, Data Center, and Bamboo Data Center products that, if successfully exploited, could result in remote code execution on susceptible systems.
The list of the flaws is below -
- CVE-2023-22505 (CVSS score: 8.0) - RCE (Remote Code Execution) in Confluence Data Center and Server (Fixed in versions 8.3.2 and 8.4.0)
- CVE-2023-22508 (CVSS score: 8.5) - RCE (Remote Code Execution) in Confluence Data Center and Server (Fixed in versions 7.19.8 and 8.2.0)
- CVE-2023-22506 (CVSS score: 7.5) - Injection, RCE (Remote Code Execution) in Bamboo (Fixed in versions 9.2.3 and 9.3.1)
CVE-2023-22505 and CVE-2023-22508 allow an “authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code which has high impact to confidentiality, high impact to integrity, high impact to availability, and no user interaction,” the company said.
While the first bug was introduced in version 8.0.0, CVE-2023-22508 was introduced in version 7.4.0 of the software.

CVE-2023-22506, introduced in version 8.0.0 of Bamboo Data Center, permits an “authenticated attacker to modify the actions taken by a system call and execute arbitrary code which has high impact to confidentiality, high impact to integrity, high impact to availability, and no user interaction,” according to Atlassian.
Earlier this January, the Australian company shipped patches to resolve a critical security flaw in Jira Service Management Server and Data Center that could be abused by an attacker to pass off as another user and gain unauthorized access to susceptible instances (CVE-2023-22501, CVSS score: 9.4).
Weeks later, it also rolled out fixes for two critical overflow flaws in Git (CVE-2022-41903 and CVE-2022-23531) affecting Bitbucket Server and Data Center, Bamboo Server and Data Center, Fisheye, Crucible, and Sourcetree.
With security vulnerabilities in Atlassian servers becoming attack magnets in recent years, it’s recommended that users move quickly to apply the patches to safeguard against potential threats.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-0599-01 - Git is a distributed revision control system with a decentralized architecture. As opposed to centralized version control systems with a client-server model, Git ensures that each working copy of a Git repository is an exact copy with complete revision history. This not only allows the user to work on and contribute to projects without the need to have permission to push the changes to their official repositories, but also makes it possible for the user to work with no network connection. Issues addressed include heap overflow and integer overflow vulnerabilities.

Atlassian has released fixes to resolve a critical security flaw in Jira Service Management Server and Data Center that could be abused by an attacker to pass off as another user and gain unauthorized access to susceptible instances. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2023-22501 (CVSS score: 9.4) and has been described as a case of broken authentication with low attack complexity. "An
An authentication vulnerability was discovered in Jira Service Management Server and Data Center which allows an attacker to impersonate another user and gain access to a Jira Service Management instance under certain circumstances_._ With write access to a User Directory and outgoing email enabled on a Jira Service Management instance, an attacker could gain access to signup tokens sent to users with accounts that have never been logged into. Access to these tokens can be obtained in two cases: * If the attacker is included on Jira issues or requests with these users, or * If the attacker is forwarded or otherwise gains access to emails containing a “View Request” link from these users. Bot accounts are particularly susceptible to this scenario. On instances with single sign-on, external customer accounts can be affected in projects where anyone can create their own account.
Ubuntu Security Notice 5810-1 - Markus Vervier and Eric Sesterhenn discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain gitattributes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code. Joern Schneeweisz discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain commands. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code.
The maintainers of the Git source code version control system have released updates to remediate two critical vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a malicious actor to achieve remote code execution. The flaws, tracked as CVE-2022-23521 and CVE-2022-41903, impacts the following versions of Git: v2.30.6, v2.31.5, v2.32.4, v2.33.5, v2.34.5, v2.35.5, v2.36.3, v2.37.4, v2.38.2, and v2.39.0.
GuardDog is a CLI tool to identify malicious PyPI packages. Versions prior to 0.1.5 are vulnerable to Relative Path Traversal when scanning a specially-crafted local PyPI package. Running GuardDog against a specially-crafted package can allow an attacker to write an arbitrary file on the machine where GuardDog is executed due to a path traversal vulnerability when extracting the .tar.gz file of the package being scanned, which exists by design in the tarfile.TarFile.extractall function. This issue is patched in version 0.1.5.
