We have identified and fixed a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Crucible Linked JIRA Issue.

Affected versions are Crucible 2.0.1 to 2.3.7 inclusive.

XSS vulnerabilities potentially allow an attacker to embed their own JavaScript into a FishEye/Crucible page. You can read more about XSS attacks at various places on the web, including these:
