ATTACKERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO EXPLOIT RECENTLY PATCHED ATLASSIAN CONFLUENCE
CVE-2021-26084 RCE

September 2, 2021  By Pierluigi Paganini




THREAT ACTORS ARE ACTIVELY EXPLOITING A RECENTLY PATCHED VULNERABILITY IN
ATLASSIAN’S CONFLUENCE ENTERPRISE COLLABORATION PRODUCT.

Threat actors were spotted exploiting the CVE-2021-26084 vulnerability in
Atlassian’s Confluence enterprise collaboration product a few days after it was
patched by the vendor.



Last week, Atlassian released security patches to address the
critical CVE-2021-26084 flaw that affects the Confluence enterprise
collaboration product.



The flaw is an OGNL injection issue that can be exploited by an authenticated
attacker to execute arbitrary code on affected Confluence Server and Data Center
instances.

“An OGNL injection vulnerability exists that would allow an authenticated user,
and in some instances unauthenticated user, to execute arbitrary code on a
Confluence Server or Data Center instance. ” reads the advisory published by the
company.

The issue was discovered by Benny Jacob (SnowyOwl) through the Atlassian public
bug bounty program, the vulnerability received a CVSS score of 9.8.

Affected versions are:

 * version < 6.13.23
 * 6.14.0 ≤ version < 7.4.11
 * 7.5.0 ≤ version < 7.11.5
 * 7.12.0 ≤ version < 7.12.5

Researchers from Threat intelligence firm Bad Packets detected mass scanning and
exploit activity targeting Atlassian Confluence servers vulnerable to the above
RCE.



Internet scans for systems affected by the CVE-2021-26084 flaw were also spotted
by other researchers, the Japan CERT issued a security alert regarding this
flaw. https://jpcert.or.jp/english/at/2021/at210037.html

“On September 2, 2021 (Japan time), JPCERT/CC confirmed that an article
explaining the details of this vulnerability and Proof-of-Concept code that
seems to exploit the vulnerability are made public. The users of the affected
products are recommended to take measures such as upgrading to the latest
version or apply workaround as soon as possible.” reads the alert from the Japan
CERT.



Australian ACSC also issued an alert for CVE-2021-26084 due to ongoing
exploitation attempts in the wild.




Technical details and POC for Confluence RCE (CVE-2021-26084) are available
here:



Experts believe that the number of attacks targeting this Confluence
vulnerability will increase in the next weeks.
