AnalysisAI

Information disclosure in Atlassian Confluence Data Center allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read sensitive information from affected instances, carrying a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.2 (High). The flaw was introduced across a wide span of releases (7.17.0, 7.19.0, 8.5.0, 8.9.0, 9.0.1, 9.1.0, 9.2.0, 10.0.2, 10.1.0, 10.2.0) and was found internally by Atlassian. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the network-reachable, unauthenticated nature makes patching a priority for internet-facing deployments.

Technical ContextAI

Confluence Data Center is Atlassian's self-managed, clustered enterprise wiki and collaboration platform (CPE cpe:2.3:a:atlassian:confluence_data_center) typically deployed on-premises or in customer-managed infrastructure, often internet-facing for distributed teams. The issue is an Information Disclosure weakness; Atlassian did not assign a specific CWE (CWE: N/A in the input), but the class corresponds to unauthorized exposure of sensitive data (CWE-200 family) reachable over the network without credentials. The CVSS 4.0 vector's AT:P (Attack Requirements Present) signals that successful exploitation depends on a condition beyond simply reaching the service, and the impact metrics VC:H/VI:N/VA:N confirm the effect is purely a loss of confidentiality with no integrity or availability impact.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade Confluence Data Center to the latest version, or to a fixed maintenance release for your line - 9.2 customers should move to 9.2.22 or greater, and 10.2 customers to 10.2.14 or greater. Consult the Atlassian advisory at https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1821999345 and the CONFSERVER-104340 ticket (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-104340), obtain builds from the Atlassian download archives (https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives), and review release notes (https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-release-notes-327.html). If immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce exposure by removing the instance from direct internet reachability and placing it behind a VPN or IP allowlist / reverse proxy so only trusted networks can reach it, and monitor access logs for anomalous requests to sensitive endpoints - with the trade-off that restricting network access can break external collaborators or integrations that rely on direct connectivity. No vulnerability-specific vendor workaround was published in the provided data, so upgrading remains the only confirmed fix.
