GreenHopper Security Advisory 2010-05-05

In this advisory:

XSS Vulnerabilities

深刻度

Atlassian rates these vulnerabilities as high, according to the scale published in Severity Levels for Security Issues. The scale allows us to rank a vulnerability as critical, high, moderate or low.

Risk Assessment

We have identified and fixed several cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in GreenHopper, which may affect JIRA instances that are running the GreenHopper plugin. These vulnerabilities have security implications and are especially important for anyone running publicly accessible instances of JIRA/GreenHopper.

• An attacker might take advantage of the vulnerability to steal other users' session cookies or other credentials, by sending the credentials back to the attacker's own web server. The attacker could potentially then gain control over the underlying JIRA system and/or the underlying operating system, based on the privileges of the user whose credentials had been stolen.
• An attacker's text and script might be displayed to other people viewing a GreenHopper page. This is potentially damaging to your company's reputation.

You can read more about XSS attacks at cgisecurity, CERT and other places on the web.

Vulnerability

All versions of GreenHopper are affected by these XSS vulnerabilities.

An attacker can inject their own JavaScript into the following GreenHopper pages:

• 'Add Version' popup
• /secure/Configuration.jspa
• /secure/GetBoardForIssue.jspa
• /secure/GHAddIssue.jspa
• /secure/SetCCBStartDate.jspa

Risk Mitigation

We strongly recommend upgrading your GreenHopper plugin to fix these vulnerabilities. Please see the 'Fix' section below.

修正

These issues have been fixed in:

• GreenHopper 4.4.1 (which is compatible with JIRA 4.1.x) and
• GreenHopper 4.3.2 (which is compatible with JIRA 4.0.x).
