Title:Atlassian Confluence XSS Vulnerability
Summary:Atlassian Confluence is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Atlassian Confluence is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
Atlassian Confluence is vulnerable to a persistent cross-site scripting
vulnerability because it fails to securely validate user controlled data. The bug occurs at pages carrying attached
files, even though the attached file name parameter is correctly sanitized upon submission, it is possible for an
attacker to later edit the attached file name property and supply crafted data (i.e HTML tags and script code)
without the occurrence of any security checks, resulting in an exploitable persistent XSS.

Affected Software/OS:
Atlassian Confluence before version 5.10.6.

Solution:
Update to 5.10.6 or later versions.

CVSS Score:
4.3

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
