Key Information:

Status
Atlassian Connect Spring Boot (acsb)
Vendor
CVE Published:
16 April 2021

Summary

The Atlassian Connect Spring Boot (ACSB) framework, used for creating Atlassian Connect apps, exhibits a significant security flaw. Versions from 1.1.0 to 2.1.2 incorrectly validate context JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) on lifecycle endpoints intended for server-to-server JWTs only. This misconfiguration allows unauthorized attackers to exploit the flaw, enabling them to send legitimized re-installation events to the app, compromising the integrity of the Atlassian products' authentication mechanisms.

Affected Version(s)

Atlassian Connect Spring Boot (ACSB) 1.1.0

Atlassian Connect Spring Boot (ACSB) < 2.1.3
