Atlassian Confluence - Arbitrary File Read (CVE-2021-26085)

Atlassian Confluence is affected by a Pre-Authorization Arbitrary File Read vulnerability in the /s/ endpoint. This allows attackers to read sensitive information from the target system by sending a special crafted HTTP GET request to the vulnerable endpoint. The affected endpoints are /WEB-INF/web.xml, /WEB-INF/decorators.xml, /WEB-INF/classes/seraph-config.xml, META-INF/maven/com.atlassian.confluence/confluence-webapp/pom.xml and META-INF/maven/com.atlassian.confluence/confluence-webapp/pom.properties.

Sniper can read arbitrary files from the target system and extract them as evidence.

The risk exists that a remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read sensitive information from arbitrary files located on the file system of the server.

Upgrade the Atlassian Confluence to the latest version.
