The 'crowd-application' plugin module (notably used by the Google Apps plugin) in Atlassian Crowd from version 1.5.0 before version 3.1.2 allowed an attacker to impersonate a Crowd user in REST requests by being able to authenticate to a directory bound to an application using the feature. Given the following situation: the Crowd application is bound to directory 1 and has a user called admin and the Google Apps application is bound to directory 2, which also has a user called admin, it was possible to authenticate REST requests using the credentials of the user coming from directory 2 and impersonate the user from directory 1.
The LDAP directory connector in Atlassian Crowd before 2.8.8 and 2.9.x before 2.9.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an LDAP attribute with a crafted serialized Java object, aka LDAP entry poisoning.
Atlassian Crowd 2.6.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via unspecified vectors related to a "symmetric backdoor." NOTE: as of 20130704, the vendor could not reproduce the issue, stating "We've been unable to substantiate the existence of [CVE-2013-3926]. The author of the article has not contacted Atlassian and has provided no detail, making it difficult to validate the claim... If we can confirm that there is a vulnerability, a patch will be issued.
Atlassian Crowd 2.5.x before 2.5.4, 2.6.x before 2.6.3, 2.3.8, and 2.4.9 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and send HTTP requests to intranet servers via a request to (1) /services/2 or (2) services/latest with a DTD containing an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference.
Atlassian JIRA before 5.0.1; Confluence before 3.5.16, 4.0 before 4.0.7, and 4.1 before 4.1.10; FishEye and Crucible before 2.5.8, 2.6 before 2.6.8, and 2.7 before 2.7.12; Bamboo before 3.3.4 and 3.4.x before 3.4.5; and Crowd before 2.0.9, 2.1 before 2.1.2, 2.2 before 2.2.9, 2.3 before 2.3.7, and 2.4 before 2.4.1 do not properly restrict the capabilities of third-party XML parsers, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via unspecified vectors.
