CRITICAL 9.4

DescriptionCVE.org

This Critical severity OS Command Injection vulnerability was introduced in versions 9.6.0, 10.0.0, 10.1.0, 10.2.0, 11.0.0, 11.1.0, 12.0.0, and 12.1.0 of Bamboo Data Center.

This RCE (Remote Code Execution) vulnerability, with a CVSS Score of 9.4 and a CVSS Vector of CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H allows an authenticated attacker to execute commands on the remote system, which has high impact to confidentiality, high impact to integrity, high impact to availability, and requires no user interaction.

Atlassian recommends that Bamboo Data Center customers upgrade to latest version, if you are unable to do so, upgrade your instance to one of the specified supported fixed versions: Bamboo Data Center 9.6.0: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 9.6.25 Bamboo Data Center 10.2: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 10.2.18 Bamboo Data Center 12.1: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 12.1.6

See the release notes ([https://confluence.atlassian.com/bambooreleases/bamboo-release-notes-1189793869.html]). You can download the latest version of Bamboo Data Center from the download center ([https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/download-archives]).

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Atlassian Bamboo Data Center versions 9.6.0 through 12.1.0 allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via command injection vulnerability. The attack requires low-privilege authentication (PR:L) but no user interaction, enabling complete system compromise across confidentiality, integrity, and availability with cross-scope impact (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H indicating container escape or lateral movement potential). Atlassian has released patches for three major version branches (9.6.25, 10.2.18, 12.1.6). No active exploitation confirmed in CISA KEV at time of analysis, though the authenticated nature and critical CVSS 9.4 score warrant immediate patching for internet-exposed instances with broad user access.

Technical ContextAI

Bamboo Data Center is Atlassian's enterprise continuous integration and deployment server platform, designed for clustered high-availability deployments. This vulnerability represents a CWE-78 class OS Command Injection flaw where user-controlled input is passed unsanitized to system shell commands. The affected versions span multiple major releases (9.6.0, 10.x, 11.x, 12.x), suggesting the vulnerable code path was introduced in version 9.6.0 and persisted through subsequent release cycles. The CVSS 4.0 vector's cross-scope impact metrics (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H) indicate the vulnerability enables attackers to break out of application security boundaries-potentially executing commands with higher privilege contexts than the application service account, or achieving container escape in containerized deployments. The PR:L (low privilege required) designation means any authenticated user account, not just administrators, can exploit this vulnerability, significantly expanding the attack surface in organizations with numerous CI/CD users or service accounts.

RemediationAI

Atlassian has released patches across three supported major version branches: upgrade to Bamboo Data Center 9.6.25 or later (for 9.6.x users), 10.2.18 or later (for 10.x users), or 12.1.6 or later (for 12.x users). Users on unsupported 11.x versions should migrate to the 12.1.6+ branch. Download patched releases from the Atlassian Bamboo download archives (https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/download-archives) and follow upgrade procedures in the release notes (https://confluence.atlassian.com/bambooreleases/bamboo-release-notes-1189793869.html). If immediate patching is not feasible, implement network segmentation to restrict Bamboo access to trusted IP ranges only via firewall rules, enforce multi-factor authentication for all user accounts to raise credential compromise difficulty, conduct audit of all user accounts to disable unnecessary or orphaned credentials, enable detailed command execution logging to detect exploitation attempts, and consider temporarily disabling Bamboo external network access if business continuity allows. Note these compensating controls only reduce attack surface and do not eliminate the vulnerability-patching remains the only complete remediation. No workarounds or configuration changes can mitigate this command injection flaw according to vendor advisory.
