Unauthenticated code execution requiring user interaction
Published Jan 16, 2024 · Updated Jun 2, 2025
Code injection in vulnerable Atlassian Confluence Data Center and Server releases allows remote attackers to execute code after user interaction. Atlassian has not disclosed the affected component, attacker-controlled input, or operation that converts that input into executable code. The attack requires no authentication but does require user interaction, and successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code in the Confluence service context.
