CVE-2026-77255
HighCVSS 8.6Summary
In MCP Atlassian prior to 0.22.0, the Jira update_issue attachments argument is converted into local paths and routed to the attachment upload implementation without workspace validation. A caller can make the MCP server read arbitrary local files and attach them to a Jira issue, using the server as a confused deputy to exfiltrate the contents.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with access to the MCP server can exfiltrate sensitive host files, including configuration data or credentials, by uploading them to a controlled Jira issue. This results in data leakage outside the organization's boundaries.
Recommendation
Update MCP Atlassian to version 0.22.0 or later. Until patched, restrict access to the MCP server and review which file paths are passed in attachment arguments.
Other vulnerabilities in MCP Atlassian
See all- CVE-2026-77272Medium
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, the OAuth error query parameter is passed to CallbackHandler._send_response in oauth_setup.py and interpolated into an HTML page without escaping. A crafted authorization callback can inject markup or script that executes in the browser of a user completing the OAuth flow. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
- CVE-2026-77269Medium
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, the remediation for CVE-2026-27825 protects download destinations but does not constrain source paths used by attachment uploads. A caller can provide an absolute or traversal file_path and cause the server to upload the selected local file. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
- CVE-2026-77268Medium
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, the OAuth fallback token directory and JSON file are created without explicit owner-only modes. Local users or processes with access through the resulting group or world permission bits can read access and refresh tokens and reuse the associated Atlassian session. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
- CVE-2026-77266Medium
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, upload_attachment accepts absolute paths and traversal sequences without constraining the resolved path to the server workspace. An MCP caller with attachment access can read a chosen server-local file and exfiltrate it through Jira or Confluence. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
- CVE-2026-77262High
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, confluence_upload_attachment accepts an attacker-controlled file_path and does not apply the path restriction added for the earlier download vulnerability. A caller can traverse outside the workspace and upload arbitrary server-readable files to Confluence.
- CVE-2026-77259High
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, confluence_upload_attachment opens a caller-selected server-local file without checking that the resolved path remains in the workspace. A caller can upload environment files, credentials, or other readable host data to a Confluence page and retrieve it through Atlassian.
- CVE-2026-77257High
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, HTTP-exposed Jira and Confluence upload tools pass a caller-provided file_path to local file operations without restricting it to the workspace. A remote MCP caller with tool access can cause the server to read sensitive local files and upload them as Atlassian attachments.
- CVE-2026-77256High
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, the plaintext OAuth fallback file containing refresh and access tokens is written with permissions inherited from the process umask. Under common or permissive configurations, other local users can read the backup and retain Atlassian access through the refresh token.
- CVE-2026-77253High
In MCP Atlassian prior to 0.22.0, the Jira and Confluence attachment upload tools accept arbitrary local filesystem paths and send the selected bytes to Atlassian. In HTTP or multi-user deployments, a caller can cross the client-to-server filesystem boundary and disclose configuration, credentials, mounted secrets, or other files readable by the MCP process.
- CVE-2026-77249Medium
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, JiraUserMixin._lookup_user_by_permissions uses the module-level requests.get function instead of the fetcher's protected session. A caller-controlled public Jira URL can redirect that unhooked request to an internal address, bypassing the redirect checks added for CVE-2026-27826. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
Original NVD description (English source)
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, the Jira update_issue attachments argument is converted into local paths and routed to the attachment upload implementation without workspace validation. A caller can make the MCP server read arbitrary local files and attach them to a Jira issue, using the server as a confused deputy to exfiltrate the contents. The advisory traces the vulnerable input and processing flow through jira update_issue, attachments, upload_attachment, and file_path, which identify the affected entry points, controls, and code paths. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
