It affects Bitbucket Data Center, Confluence Data Center, Jira Service Management Data Center, Jira Software Data Center, Bamboo Data Center, Crowd Data Center, Crucible and Fisheye. CERT-EU strongly recommends upgrading all affected installations to a fixed version as soon as possible, starting with instances accessible from the internet. CERT-EU also recommends checking access logs for signs of exploitation.","Atlassian has released a security advisory for a critical arbitrary file access vulnerability affecting several of its Data Center products, including Bitbucket, Confluence, and Jira. The vulnerability, CVE-2026-21589, allows unauthenticated attackers to access specific files if they know the exact file name and path.
