An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2026-21589 in the wild since at least 15 Oct 2026.\n\nAffected product: Atlassian Crucible. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-21589/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-21589/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-21589","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-21589/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-21589","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gr66-x5pq-8g2g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Atlassian Data Center","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can access specific files in the web application root directory if they know the exact path, potentially exposing sensitive data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"atlassian","cpe":[{"product":"bamboo","vendor":"atlassian"},{"product":"bitbucket_data_center","vendor":"atlassian"},{"product":"bitbucket_server","vendor":"atlassian"},{"product":"confluence_data_center","vendor":"atlassian"},{"product":"crowd","vendor":"atlassian"},{"product":"crucible","vendor":"atlassian"},{"product":"fisheye","vendor":"atlassian"},{"product":"jira_data_center","vendor":"atlassian"},{"product":"jira_service_desk","vendor":"atlassian"},{"product":"jira_service_management","vendor":"atlassian"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-552","name":"Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties"}],"description":"This is a vulnerability in Bitbucket Data Center, Confluence Data Center, Jira Service Management Data Center, Jira Software Data Center, Bamboo Data Center. Crowd Data Center, Crucible and Fisheye. This Arbitrary File Access vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to access specific files within the web application root directory in affected versions. Exploitation requires prior knowledge of the target file's exact name and path; this vulnerability does not allow attackers to enumerate or list directory contents. In some configurations, there may be some sensitive files that make this highly severe. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to access specific files within the web application root directory in affected versions. The vulnerability must be addressed for affected versions of: -- Bitbucket Data Center, introduced in version \u003e= 4.6.0, fix versions: 9.4.26, 10.2.8, 10.5.1 -- Confluence Data Center, introduced in version \u003e= 5.10.0, fix versions 9.2.26, 10.2.19 -- Crowd Data Center, introduced in version \u003e= 2.11.0, fix versions 6.3.7, 7.0.3, 7.1.7, 7.2.4 -- Jira Software Data Center, introduced in version \u003e= 7.1.0, fix versions 9.12.40, 10.3.26, 11.3.12 -- Jira Service Management Data Center, introduced in version \u003e= 3.1.0, fix versions 5.12.40, 10.3.26, 11.3.12 -- Bamboo Data Center \u003e= 7.0.1, fix versions 10.2.24, 12.1.12 -- Crucible, fix versions 4.9.15 -- Fisheye, fix version 4.9.15 -- Exploitation requires prior knowledge of the target file's exact name and path.
