CVE-2026-77254

MCP Atlassian: Unauthenticated HTTP MCP requests can use globally configured Jira and Confluence credentials

Published Sep 22, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.1 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, requests to the HTTP MCP endpoint without a per-user identity are allowed to reach tool handlers, which then use globally configured Jira or Confluence credentials. A network caller can perform operations with the operator account's permissions unless the deployment has an independent authentication boundary. The advisory traces the vulnerable input and processing flow through streamable-http, UserTokenMiddleware, _get_fetcher, and global credentials, which identify the affected entry points, controls, and code paths. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
