CVE-2025-22175
📋 TL;DR
Jira Align has an authorization vulnerability where low-privilege users can access endpoints they shouldn't, potentially viewing or modifying limited sensitive data. This affects all Jira Align instances with vulnerable versions. The vulnerability allows unauthorized access to other users' private data like checklists.
💻 Affected Systems
- Jira Align
📦 What is this software?
Jira Align by Atlassian
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Low-privilege users could access or modify sensitive business data, user information, or configuration settings they shouldn't have access to, potentially leading to data leakage or unauthorized changes.
Likely Case
Low-level users accessing or modifying small amounts of sensitive data belonging to other users, such as private checklists or limited configuration data.
If Mitigated
Minimal impact with proper access controls and monitoring, though the vulnerability still exists at the application level.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated low-privilege access and knowledge of specific endpoints. No public exploit code is known.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check Atlassian advisory for specific fixed versions
Vendor Advisory: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAALIGN-8644
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check the Atlassian advisory for affected versions. 2. Upgrade Jira Align to the patched version. 3. Verify the fix by testing authorization controls.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Temporary access restriction
allImplement additional network or application-level access controls to restrict low-privilege users from sensitive endpoints
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict role-based access controls and monitor for unusual access patterns
- Segment network access to Jira Align and limit user permissions to minimum required
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Jira Align version against Atlassian's advisory. Test if low-privilege users can access endpoints they shouldn't.Check Version:
Check Jira Align administration interface or consult system documentation for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
After patching, verify that low-privilege users can no longer access unauthorized endpoints or modify other users' data.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual endpoint access by low-privilege users
- Access to /api/ endpoints that should be restricted
- Modification of other users' data by unauthorized accounts
Network Indicators:
- Unusual API call patterns from low-privilege accounts
- Requests to sensitive endpoints from unauthorized users
SIEM Query:
source="jira-align" AND (user.role="low" OR user.privilege="basic") AND (endpoint="/api/*" OR action="modify" OR target_user!=current_user)
