      This is a vulnerability in a non-Atlassian Confluence dependency. Atlassian's application of this dependency presents a lower, non-critical assessed risk.

      This Critical severity Improper Authorization vulnerability was introduced in versions 7.2.0, 7.3.1, 7.4.0, 7.5.0, 7.6.0, 7.7.2, 7.8.0, 7.9.0, 7.11.0, 7.12.0, 7.13.0, 7.14.0, 7.15.0, 7.16.0, 7.17.0, 7.18.0, 7.19.0, 7.20.0, 8.0.0, 8.1.0, 8.2.0, 8.3.0, 8.4.0, 8.5.0, 8.6.0, 8.7.1, 8.8.0, 8.9.0, 9.0.1, 9.1.0, 9.2.0, 9.3.1, 9.4.0, 9.5.1, 10.0.2, 10.1.0, and 10.2.0 of Confluence Data Center.

      This Improper Authorization vulnerability, with a CVSS Score of 9.1 and a CVSS Vector of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N allows an unauthenticated attacker to expose assets in your environment susceptible to exploitation, which has high impact to confidentiality, high impact to integrity, no impact to availability, and requires no user interaction.
