[ Why it matters ]Priority signals

  • Public proof-of-concept exploit exists (CISA SSVC)

[ Description ]Official description

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. The advisory traces the vulnerable input and processing flow through confluence_upload_attachment, file_path, and open(file_path, "rb"), which identify the affected entry points, controls, and code paths. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
