Frequently Asked Questions
What is CVE-2026-77251?
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, Jira search accepts a forbidden project clause because it checks only for the presence of project syntax, Confluence search uses an incomplete case-sensitive space check, and Jira board APIs omit project-filter enforcement. These paths expose issues, boards, or pages outside JIRA_PROJECTS_FILTER or CONFLUENCE_SPACES_FILTER when the operator credentials have broader access. The advisory traces the vulnerable input and processing flow through jira_search, confluence_search, get_board_issues, get_agile_boards, JIRA_PROJECTS_FILTER, and CONFLUENCE_SPACES_FILTER, which identify the affected entry points, controls, and code paths. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
