User are receiving mobile notifications of restricted Jira comments that they cannot view when accessing Jira through a browser

Hi Jira Server mobile app beta users,

We recently discovered a bug where Jira Server mobile app users receive all comment notifications from Jira issues they’re watching or assigned to, even if the comment had been restricted to exclude them. This means they’ll be able to view the content of comments that they shouldn’t have access to.

This issue is only relevant for instances with Jira Mobile plugin v 0.2.4 installed from the marketplace.

Workaround

We’ve fixed the bug, and released a new version of the Mobile plugin for Jira. We strongly recommend you upgrade to the latest version here.

Thanks,

James Gabb
