The Atlassian JIRA installation hosted on the remote web server is affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 500page.jsp file due to an HTTP ‘referer’ field not being properly sanitized before being displayed in the page. A remote attacker can exploit this, by tricking a user into making a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code.
This version of JIRA is also affected by additional vulnerabilities (cross-site scripting and privilege escalation); however, Nessus has not tested for these issues.
