Attackers can exploit ten security vulnerabilities in Atlassian Bamboo, Bitbucket and Confluence and cause crashes, among other things.
If attacks are successful, this results in DoS states and the applications hang. This happens with Bamboo Data Center and Server (CVE-2024-30172"high") when a signature prepared by an attacker is processed.
Install security updates
All threatened versions are listed in a warning message. All security vulnerabilities are assigned the threat level"high". So far there are no reports of ongoing attacks. However, admins should not wait too long and install the versions secured against the attacks described.
