NVD description

MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, the HTTP transport accepts requests without a verified user identity and downstream fetcher construction falls back to the operator's globally configured Jira or Confluence credentials. A network client that can reach the MCP endpoint can invoke Atlassian tools as the operator, including read and write operations available to that account. The advisory traces the vulnerable input and processing flow through UserTokenMiddleware, AtlassianOpaqueTokenVerifier, _get_fetcher, and streamable-http, which identify the affected entry points, controls, and code paths. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.

    1/ Running mcp-atlassian or the GitLab MCP server over HTTP? Two critical bugs mean anyone who can reach the port can act as you. Quick rundown 🧵 2/ mcp-atlassian before 0.22.0 (CVE-2026-77244, CVSS 10): the HTTP transport accepts any non-empty token, then falls back to the operator's Jira/Confluence credentials. Upgrade to 0.22.0, or stay on stdio until you can. https://vibevulns.com/issues/cve-2026-77244-mcp-atlassian-http-transport-auth-bypass/

    Post summary

    The text announces CVE-2026-77244 in mcp-atlassian's HTTP transport (CVSS 10), detailing the auth-bypass mechanism and explicitly recommending an upgrade to version 0.22.0 as the primary remediation.

    🚨Critical - MCP Atlassian HTTP Transport Auth Bypass (CVE-2026-77244) mcp-atlassian’s HTTP transport prior to 0.22.0 accepts requests without a verified user identity; fetcher construction can fall back to the operator’s globally configured Jira/Confluence credentials. Any network client with endpoint access can invoke Confluence/Jira tools as the operator for read/write actions. 👉Affected: mcp-atlassian < 0.22.0 | Upgrade to 0.22.0

    Post summary

    The text announces CVE-2026-77244, an authentication bypass in mcp-atlassian HTTP transport prior to 0.22.0 allowing unauthenticated clients to invoke Jira/Confluence tools with operator credentials, and directs users to upgrade to version 0.22.0 as remediation.

    mcp-atlassian CVE-2026-77244 (CVSS 10.0, NVD ~Sep 22, fresh writeups Oct 2): HTTP transport ran with the operator's Jira/Confluence token when Authorization was missing or literally Bearer anything. token verifier accepted any non-empty string. UserTokenMiddleware let missing headers through. fetchers fell back to env credentials. one unauthenticated tools/call to /mcp was enough. fix landed in 0.22.0 (Jul 10); SSE path needed 0.23.1 (Aug 19). GHSA-wrhw-j3f9-8vc6. my take: a single-user "quickstart" credential behind an open HTTP port is not a personal tool. it is a shared operator identity. upgrade, leave ALLOW_GLOBAL_CRED_FALLBACK off, bind localhost, rotate the token if that port was ever reachable.

    Post summary

    The text details a critical authentication bypass in mcp-atlassian (CVE-2026-77244) where unauthenticated requests could leverage operator credentials via fallback mechanisms, and explicitly identifies the patched versions (0.22.0/0.23.1) along with required configuration hardening steps.
