Software Security / Vulnerability

Atlassian has released software fixes to address four critical flaws in its software that, if successfully exploited, could result in remote code execution.

The list of vulnerabilities is below -

  • CVE-2022-1471 (CVSS score: 9.8) - Deserialization vulnerability in SnakeYAML library that can lead to remote code execution in multiple products
  • CVE-2023-22522 (CVSS score: 9.0) - Remote code execution vulnerability in Confluence Data Center and Confluence Server (affects all versions including and after 4.0.0)
  • CVE-2023-22523 (CVSS score: 9.8) - Remote code execution vulnerability in Assets Discovery for Jira Service Management Cloud, Server, and Data Center (affects all versions up to but not including 3.2.0-cloud / 6.2.0 data center and server)
  • CVE-2023-22524 (CVSS score: 9.6) - Remote code execution vulnerability in Atlassian Companion app for macOS (affects all versions up to but not including 2.0.0)

Atlassian described CVE-2023-22522 as a template injection flaw that allows an authenticated attacker, including one with anonymous access, to inject unsafe user input into a Confluence page, resulting in code execution.

The Assets Discovery flaw allows an attacker to perform privileged remote code execution on machines with the Assets Discovery agent installed, whereas CVE-2023-22524 could permit an attacker to achieve code execution by utilizing WebSockets to bypass Atlassian Companion’s blocklist and macOS Gatekeeper protections.

The advisory comes nearly a month after the Australian software company revealed all versions of its Bamboo Data Center and Server products are impacted by an actively exploited critical security flaw in Apache ActiveMQ (CVE-2023-46604, CVSS score: 10.0). Fixes have been released in versions 9.2.7, 9.3.5, and 9.4.1 or later.

With Atlassian products becoming lucrative attack vectors in recent years, it’s highly recommended that users move quickly to update affected installations to a patched version.

CVE-2023-22522

This Template Injection vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker, including one with anonymous access, to inject unsafe user input into a Confluence page. Using this approach, an attacker is able to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) on an affected instance. Publicly accessible Confluence Data Center and Server versions as listed below are at risk and require immediate attention. See the advisory for additional details Atlassian Cloud sites are not affected by this vulnerability. If your Confluence site is accessed via an atlassian.net domain, it is hosted by Atlassian and is not vulnerable to this issue.

CVE-2023-22524: CVE-2023-22524 - RCE Vulnerability in Atlassian Companion App for MacOS | Atlassian Support

Certain versions of the Atlassian Companion App for MacOS were affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker could utilize WebSockets to bypass Atlassian Companion’s blocklist and MacOS Gatekeeper to allow execution of code.

CVE-2023-22523: RCE Vulnerability in Assets Discovery - CVE-2023-22523

This vulnerability, if exploited, allows an attacker to perform privileged RCE (Remote Code Execution) on machines with the Assets Discovery agent installed. The vulnerability exists between the Assets Discovery application (formerly known as Insight Discovery) and the Assets Discovery agent.

CVE-2023-22524

Certain versions of the Atlassian Companion App for MacOS were affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker could utilize WebSockets to bypass Atlassian Companion’s blocklist and MacOS Gatekeeper to allow execution of code.

CVE-2023-22523

This vulnerability, if exploited, allows an attacker to perform privileged RCE (Remote Code Execution) on machines with the Assets Discovery agent installed. The vulnerability exists between the Assets Discovery application (formerly known as Insight Discovery) and the Assets Discovery agent. Assets Discovery, which can be downloaded via Atlassian Marketplace, is a network scanning tool that can be used with or without an agent with Jira Service Management Cloud, Data Center or Server. It detects hardware and software that is connected to your local network and extracts detailed information about each asset. This data can then be imported into Assets in Jira Service Management to help you manage all of the devices and configuration items within your local network.
