Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the validate_safe_path function of src/mcp_atlassian/utils/io.py, where inadequate path validation on the path argument allows directory traversal attacks. The vulnerability affects file upload and download operations in both Jira and Confluence integrations. An attacker can supply paths with ../ sequences or absolute paths to read files outside the intended working directory, gaining unauthorized file access without authentication.
