CVE-2020-36232Network attack vector

Authenticated SSRF via request-derived application base URL

Published Feb 22, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

SSRF in Atlassian Gadgets allows remote authenticated users to cause DNS lookups and requests to arbitrary services. The MessageBundleWhiteList class reads the application base URL from the executing HTTP request instead of trusted application configuration. Exploitation requires low-privileged Jira access and can expose services reachable from the server; no write or service-interruption impact is reported.
