Problem

When installing fresh installation or upgrading to Jira 10.5.0 UPM (The Universal Plugin Manager (v7.1.5)) runs a newly introduced check to verify the ownership of the directory JIRA-HOME OR JIRA-SHARED-HOME/upmconfig part of Secure app installations with app signing . The check fails not for the directory ownership check as its intended but gives false positive because the directory doesn't even exist

Environment

10.5.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Jira 10.5.0 or upgrade UPM to v7.1.5

Expected Results

UPM starts properly and runs the checks IS_READONLY / IS_NOT_SELF_OWNED with no problems , the plugins checks the existence of the paths before checking their ownership

Actual Results

• UPM throws an error misleading the administrator as if upmconfig is having the wrong permission while it does not even exist 

2025-03-27 09:52:31,243 Caesium-1-3 ERROR ServiceRunner     [signing.api.config.UpmConfig] UPM configuration Safety Check failed : UpmConfig Directory failed safety check! /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/upmconfig is not readonly, /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/upmconfig belongs to the current user [jira]

Workaround

• Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
• The error is harmless and can be ignored.
