      This High severity org.springframework:spring-webmvc Dependency vulnerability was introduced in version 3.0 of Confluence Data Center and Server.

      This org.springframework:spring-webmvc Dependency vulnerability, with a CVSS Score of 7.5 and a CVSS Vector of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N allows an unauthenticated attacker to expose assets in your environment susceptible to exploitation which has high impact to confidentiality, no impact to integrity, no impact to availability, and requires no user interaction.

      Atlassian recommends that Confluence Data Center and Server customers upgrade to latest version, if you are unable to do so, upgrade your instance to one of the specified supported fixed versions:

      • Confluence Data Center and Server 9.1: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 9.1.1

      See the release notes (https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-release-notes-327.html). You can download the latest version of Confluence Data Center and Server from the download center (https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives).

      The National Vulnerability Database provides the following description for this vulnerability: Applications serving static resources through the functional web frameworks WebMvc.fn or WebFlux.fn are vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests and obtain any file on the file system that is also accessible to the process in which the Spring application is running.

       

      Note: To mitigate CVE-2024-38819, we upgraded to a fixed version of Spring in our latest security and bug fix releases, which are noted as fixed releases above. Moving to one of the fixed versions will stop security scanners from detecting this CVE in those releases.
      We also want to share that Confluence doesn't utilize the Spring framework in a way that makes any versions vulnerable to this CVE.  More specifically we don't utilize the vulnerable packages "org.springframework.web.reactive.function.server" or "org.springframework.web.servlet.function" in any version of Confluence.  Versions not listed as fixed are not vulnerable to this CVE but may receive alerts from scanners.

            Hello Atlassian, 

            any news for instances with Version 8.9.8 that can't upgrade to 9.X because of still not compatible addons?

            Similar to CONFSERVER-98720 there seems to be some inconsistencies here:

            1. Description is only mentioned the 9.1.1 as fixed version in comparison to other descriptions containing/mentioning all fixed versions
            2. Fix Version/s on top states that 9.1.1, 9.2.0, 8.5.18, 7.19.30 are the fixed versions (up to yesterday even 9.1.1 wasn't listed)
            3. https://confluence.atlassian.com/security/security-bulletin-january-21-2025-1489803942.html states that 9.2.0, 8.5.18 and 7.19.30 are the fixed versions

            I have the same question as the above people. What is the suitable version for Confluence 8.9.8?

            Should we upgrade directly to 9.2.0?

            Hello, what is with Confluence DC Version 8.9.8? Is this really affected? We can't update to 9.X because nearly all our addons are not cmpatible with 9.X at the moment. Could you release a fixed version for 8.9?

            We are also on 8.9.8. Is there a fix for this version also planned ?
