Unauthenticated privileged code execution
Published Dec 6, 2023 · Updated Feb 25, 2026
Remote code execution in Atlassian Assets Discovery before 3.2.0-cloud or 6.2.0 allows remote attackers to run privileged code on Agent hosts. Atlassian locates the flaw in communication between the Discovery application and Agent but has not disclosed the erroneous operation. Successful exploitation requires a Windows-hosted Discovery Agent reachable on its listener; no credentials are required, and code runs under the service account, which defaults to SYSTEM.
