CVE-2026-77268
MCP Atlassian

MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, the OAuth fallback token directory and JSON file are created without explicit owner-only modes. Local users or processes with access through the resulting group or world permission bits can read access and refresh tokens and reuse the associated Atlassian session. The advisory traces the vulnerable input and processing flow through ~/.mcp-atlassian, oauth-<client_id>.json, access_token, and refresh_token, which identify the affected entry points, controls, and code paths. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.

Validate_url_for_ssrf has a backslash authority confusion because it interprets the authority differently from the Requests connection layer in the header-based Jira and Confluence URL authentication flow.
The OAuth error query parameter is passed to CallbackHandler._send_response in oauth_setup.py and interpolated into an HTML page without escaping.
Validate_safe_path defaults its base directory to os.getcwd(), and affected Confluence attachment call sites omit base_dir, allowing attacker-selected writes within the working directory.
The Jira and Confluence attachment upload tools treat caller-controlled file_path values as trusted server-local paths.
The remediation for CVE-2026-27825 protects download destinations but does not constrain source paths used by attachment uploads.
The X-Atlassian-Jira-Url and X-Atlassian-Confluence-Url headers are processed by _process_authentication_headers and used to construct Atlassian fetchers without calling validate_url_for_ssrf.
