CVE-2026-27826
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to version 0.17.0, an unauthenticated attacker who can reach the mcp-atlassian HTTP endpoint can force the server process to make outbound HTTP requests to an arbitrary attacker-controlled URL by supplying two custom HTTP headers without an Authorization header. No authentication is required.
The vulnerability exists in the HTTP middleware and dependency injection layer, not in any MCP tool handler - making it invisible to tool-level code analysis. In cloud deployments, this could enable theft of IAM role credentials via the instance metadata endpoint (169[.]254[.]169[.]254). In any HTTP deployment it enables internal network reconnaissance and injection of attacker-controlled content into LLM tool results.
Version 0.17.0 fixes the issue.
