MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid Bamboo Data Center account with at minimum low-level privileges (PR:L per CVSS 4.0). The CVSS 4.0 Attack Requirements metric is set to AT:P (Present), meaning a specific deployment-side condition must be satisfied - but Atlassian has not publicly disclosed what feature, configuration mode, or project type triggers the vulnerable code path. The attack is network-reachable with no user interaction required. What limits exploitation: the attacker must already be authenticated to the Bamboo instance; unauthenticated external attackers cannot exploit this directly. The AT:P constraint further narrows the population of exploitable instances, though without vendor clarification defenders cannot confirm whether their specific deployment meets the required condition. No special platform (OS/cloud) requirements are stated. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.6 (High) is substantiated by a network attack vector, no user interaction requirement, and high confidentiality and integrity impacts on the vulnerable system - characteristics that translate to meaningful real-world risk in enterprise CI/CD environments; even a mid-sized municipal IT team in Malbork running Bamboo Data Center to automate infrastructure deployments should treat this as an urgent upgrade cycle, given that low-privilege Bamboo accounts are often granted to developers or contractors who are not trusted with production secrets. The AT:P metric (Attack Requirements: Present) in CVSS 4.0 tempers the risk somewhat compared to a fully generic network exploit, because some specific precondition must be satisfied - but Atlassian has not disclosed what that condition is, making it difficult for defenders to assess whether their configuration is exploitable without upgrading. There is no EPSS score available, and the absence of a CISA KEV listing and the pen-test discovery origin both suggest this is not yet being exploited in the wild, though the gap between disclosure and weaponization is historically narrow for Atlassian products. The RCE tag is a significant escalation signal - if the integrity path leads to code execution on the Bamboo server, which typically runs with broad system-level credentials, the blast radius extends well beyond the application tier. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding a low-privilege Bamboo Data Center account - such as a developer or CI agent service account - crafts a network request that triggers the improper authorization path, bypassing permission checks to access a restricted Bamboo resource or API endpoint. If the integrity path leads to arbitrary code execution as tagged, the attacker could modify build plans, inject malicious steps into pipelines, or extract deployment credentials and repository secrets stored in Bamboo's configuration. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis, but the pen-test origin confirms the attack path is concretely reproducible. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 18, 2026
Improper authorization in Atlassian Bamboo Data Center across six affected release lines (10.0.x through 12.1.x) enables authenticated low-privilege users to bypass access controls and reach restricted resources or functionality, with Atlassian tagging the flaw as carrying arbitrary code execution risk. The vulnerability was discovered through Atlassian's own penetration testing program and affects Data Center deployments only - not Bamboo Cloud. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, but the high confidentiality and integrity impact ratings (VC:H/VI:H in CVSS 4.0) and the RCE tag make this a credible escalation risk in any environment where untrusted or lightly-privileged users hold Bamboo accounts.
RemediationAI
Atlassian recommends upgrading to the latest available release of Bamboo Data Center. For customers who cannot upgrade to the absolute latest, the minimum fixed versions are Bamboo Data Center 10.2.22 (for the 10.2 line) and Bamboo Data Center 12.1.10 (for the 12.1 line). Fixed versions for the 10.0, 10.1, 11.0, and 12.0 lines are not independently confirmed in the available advisory data - customers on those branches should target 12.1.10 or later. Downloads are available at https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/download-archives and release notes at https://confluence.atlassian.com/bambooreleases/bamboo-release-notes-1189793869.html. Because the specific attack requirement (AT:P) is undisclosed, no targeted workaround can be recommended with confidence; organizations unable to patch immediately should audit Bamboo account assignments, revoke low-privilege accounts for untrusted or contractor users, enforce network segmentation to restrict Bamboo admin interfaces to trusted hosts, and monitor Bamboo audit logs for anomalous resource access patterns.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Atlassian Bamboo Data Center is an enterprise-grade self-hosted CI/CD orchestration platform used to automate build, test, and deployment pipelines. In CI/CD environments, authorization controls are especially sensitive because the platform routinely holds access to source code repositories, deployment credentials, environment secrets, and artifact stores. The flaw is classified as Improper Authorization - a class of vulnerability where the application fails to correctly enforce access control checks, allowing a principal to act on resources or invoke functionality beyond their granted permissions. The CVSS 4.0 Attack Requirements metric is set to AT:P (Present), indicating a specific prerequisite condition must be met beyond simple authentication, though Atlassian's advisory does not detail the precise configuration or feature gate involved. CWE classification was not assigned by NVD at time of analysis. Affected CPE covers Bamboo Data Center versions 10.0.0-10.0.3, 10.1.0-10.1.1, 10.2.0-10.2.21, 11.0.0-11.0.8, 12.0.0-12.0.2, and 12.1.0-12.1.9.

DescriptionCVE.org
This High severity Improper Authorization vulnerability was introduced in versions 10.0.0, 10.1.0, 10.2.0, 11.0.0, 12.0.0, and 12.1.0 of Bamboo Data Center.
This Improper Authorization vulnerability, with a CVSS Score of 7.6, allows an authenticated attacker to gain unintended access and can lead to the exposure of resources or functionality, possibly providing attackers with sensitive information or even execute arbitrary code.
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 10.2: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 10.2.22
- Bamboo Data Center 12.1: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 12.1.10
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).
This vulnerability was reported via our Penetration Testing program.
Executive ViewAI
Atlassian Bamboo Data Center deployments running versions 10.0.x through 12.1.x contain an authorization bypass vulnerability allowing any authenticated user-even those with minimal system permissions-to escalate privileges and potentially execute arbitrary code on the system. With no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, the risk remains primarily to organizations where non-administrator users have legitimate Bamboo access, creating an insider threat vector that cannot be immediately patched. Organizations face an exposed remediation window until Atlassian releases a fix, requiring interim access controls to mitigate the escalation pathway.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: restrict Bamboo network access to trusted internal networks only; minimize low-privilege user accounts to those with documented business necessity; implement enhanced logging and alerting for privilege escalation attempts and resource access by non-administrators; enforce strict role-based access control with principle of least privilege; consider isolated deployment environments for non-critical pipelines; evaluate rollback to Bamboo versions below 10.0.x if operationally feasible.
