Summary
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, an HTTP transport deployment with READ_ONLY_MODE=false accepts a request without an Authorization identity and permits attacker-controlled Atlassian service headers, including X-Atlassian-Confluence-Url, to select a public attacker hostname or one allowed by MCP_ALLOWED_URL_DOMAINS. A caller can then invoke confluence_upload_attachment or the Jira attachment variant in src/mcp_atlassian/jira/attachments.py with a server-local file_path and cause the MCP process to send the file to the selected attachment endpoint. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
