CVE-2019-20415Network attack vector

Unauthenticated logging changes via forged administrator requests

Published Jun 30, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Atlassian Jira Server before 7.13.3 and from 8.0.0 before 8.1.0 allows remote attackers to alter runtime settings. Atlassian identifies the Logging and Profiling administration feature but has not published the affected request handler or missing anti-CSRF validation. The forged request requires interaction by a logged-in system administrator and changes logging or profiling state rather than Jira data.
