...
CSRF based vulnerability in S/Notify configuration pages
We would like to inform our clients about a CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery) based vulnerability that has been found in the configuration of S/Notify.
You would be affected when on of the following conditions apply
you use S/Notify for Jira with Jira in a version before 9.0
you use S/Notify for Jira with Jira Service Management before 5.0
you use S/Notify for Confluence
you use S/Notify for Bitbucket
Description
While an administrative user is logged on, the configuration settings of S/Notify can be modified using a CSRF attack.
The injection could be initiated by the administrator clicking a malicious link in an email or by visiting a malicious website.
Background
Cross-site request forgery (also known as CSRF) is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to induce users to perform actions that they do not intend to perform. It allows an attacker to partly circumvent the same origin policy, which is designed to prevent different websites from interfering with each other. When a user visits the affected web page, the Javascript executes within that user’s browser in the context of this domain.
From here, an attacker could carry out additional actions that the user is able to perform, including accessing any of the user's data and modifying information within the user’s permissions.
Business Impact
If executed while an administrator is logged on to Jira, Confluence or Bitbucket, an attacker could use the vulnerability to modify the configuration of the S/Notify app on that host. This can especially lead to email notifications being no longer encrypted when they should be.
We therefore recommend that you update S/Notify as soon as possible.
Assessment
This vulnerability is considered severe according to Bugcrowd’s Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy and has been assigned a CVSS 8.3 (high) rating in the Common Vulnerability Scoring System.
This vulnerability has been found in a penetration test by a security researcher. We have no reports about it being actively exploited.
Action
Affected versions
Versions up to and including 4.0.1 of S/Notify for Jira and Confluence, as well as versions up to and including 2.0.0 of S/Notify for Bitbucket must be considered affected.
Temporary Mitigation
Administrative users should logout of Jira, Confluence, or Bitbucket when they no longer need administrative access to the application. This effectively prevents the abuse of the vulnerability.
Permanent Fix
Download and install our fix releases where applicableapp, one of which has been assessed a high severity. Unfortunately, it is a general vulnerability, so most customers will be affected. However, we have no reports or other indication of any of these vulnerabilities being actively exploited.
Please refer to to our documentation for full details about the found vulnerabilities, which installations are affected, and how to temporarily mitigate the vulnerabilities:

We recommend that you plan to update as soon as possible to our latest fix releases
S/Notify for Jira 4.0.2
S/Notify for Confluence 4.0.2
S/Notify for Bitbucket 2.0.1
CSRF based vulnerability in user upload
We would like to inform our clients about a CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery) based vulnerability that has been found in the upload functionality of the User Profile pages of S/Notify. It also affects the customer upload functionality in Jira Service Management.
You would be affected when on of the following conditions apply
you use S/Notify for Jira with a Jira in a version before 9.0
and you have enabled users to upload their own S/MIME certificate or PGP keyyou use S/Notify for Jira with Jira Service Management in a version before 5.0
and you have enabled users to upload their own S/MIME certificate or PGP keyyou use S/Notify for Jira with Jira Service Management
and you have enabled customers to upload their own S/MIME certificate or PGP keyyou use S/Notify for Confluence
you use S/Notify for Bitbucket
Description
While a user is logged on, the user’s or customer’s S/MIME certificate or PGP key can be replaced using a CSRF attack.
The injection could be initiated by the user clicking a malicious link in an email or by visiting a malicious website.
Background
Cross-site request forgery (also known as CSRF) is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to induce users to perform actions that they do not intend to perform. It allows an attacker to partly circumvent the same origin policy, which is designed to prevent different websites from interfering with each other. When a user visits the affected web page, the Javascript executes within that user’s browser in the context of this domain.
From here, an attacker could carry out additional actions that the user is able to perform, including accessing any of the user's data and modifying information within the user’s permissions.
Business Impact
If executed while the user is logged on to Jira, Confluence or Bitbucket, an attacker could use the vulnerability to upload a specifically crafted S/MIME certificate or PGP key for the user, which would then be used to encrypt the email to that user. However, since this modification would lead to the user no longer being able to decrypt and read their notifications, the attack would not go unnoticed for long.
We therefore consider the impact of this vulnerability to be very limited.
Assessment
The severity of this vulnerability is considered low according to Bugcrowd’s Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy and has been assigned a CVSS 3.1 (low) rating in the Common Vulnerability Scoring System.
This vulnerability has been found and verified within our own test environment. We have no reports about it being actively exploited.
Action
Affected versions
Versions up to and including 4.0.1 of S/Notify for Jira and Confluence, as well as versions up to and including 2.0.0 of S/Notify for Bitbucket must be considered affected.
Temporary Mitigation
If feasible, disable the user and/or customer upload functionality. This effectively removes the vulnerability.
Permanent Fix
