Private metadata disclosure via macro preview

Published May 1, 2023 · Updated Oct 1, 2024

Information disclosure in Atlassian Confluence Server and Data Center allows remote attackers to read private attachment and label names. The macro preview feature returns names from a private space without applying the access control that hides the space. No authentication is required; the reported consequence is disclosure of metadata names, not modification or service interruption.
