Discussion

Atlassian JIRA Privilege Escalation and Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Atlassian JIRA is prone to a remote privilege-escalation vulnerability and multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Remote authenticated attackers can exploit the privilege-escalation issue to gain SYSTEM-level privileges, completely compromising affected computers.

Remote attackers can leverage the cross-site scripting vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.

Versions of JIRA 3.12 through 4.1 are vulnerable.
