CVE-2025-22174
📋 TL;DR
Jira Align has an authorization vulnerability where low-privilege users can access endpoints they shouldn't, potentially viewing sensitive information like portfolio rooms. This affects all Jira Align instances with vulnerable versions. The impact is limited information disclosure rather than system compromise.
💻 Affected Systems
- Jira Align
📦 What is this software?
Jira Align by Atlassian
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Low-privilege users access multiple sensitive endpoints, potentially gathering enough information for social engineering or further attacks.
Likely Case
Low-privilege users view limited sensitive information like portfolio room names or metadata without full access to content.
If Mitigated
Proper access controls prevent unauthorized endpoint access, limiting exposure to intended information only.
🎯 Exploit Status
Requires authenticated low-privilege access and knowledge of specific endpoints
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check Atlassian advisory for specific fixed version
Vendor Advisory: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAALIGN-8643
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check Atlassian advisory for affected versions. 2. Update Jira Align to patched version. 3. Verify authorization controls are functioning.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Temporary access restriction
allImplement network-level restrictions to limit access to Jira Align endpoints
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to limit Jira Align access to authorized users only
- Enhance monitoring for unusual access patterns to sensitive endpoints
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Jira Align version against Atlassian advisory; test low-privilege user access to portfolio roomsCheck Version:
Check Jira Align administration panel or consult documentation for version commandVerify Fix Applied:
After patching, verify low-privilege users cannot access portfolio rooms or other restricted endpoints📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unauthorized access attempts to portfolio rooms or sensitive endpoints by low-privilege users
Network Indicators:
- Unusual HTTP requests to restricted endpoints from low-privilege accounts
