MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, upload_attachment accepts absolute paths and traversal sequences without constraining the resolved path to the server workspace. An MCP caller with attachment access can read a chosen server-local file and exfiltrate it through Jira or Confluence.
The advisory traces the vulnerable input and processing flow through upload_attachment, file_path, and path traversal, which identify the affected entry points, controls, and code paths. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
