  "details" : "### Summary\n\nThe `UserTokenMiddleware` extracts URLs from `X-Atlassian-Jira-Url` and `X-Atlassian-Confluence-Url` HTTP headers and passes them directly to API client constructors without any SSRF validation.\n\n### Affected Package\n\n- **Ecosystem:** PyPI\n- **Package:** mcp-atlassian\n- **Affected versions:** all versions before fix commit 5cd697dfce91\n- **Patched versions:** >= commit 5cd697dfce91\n\n### Details\n\nIn `main.py`, `_process_authentication_headers()` extracts URLs from ASGI headers without validation. In `dependencies.py`, `get_jira_fetcher()` creates `JiraConfig` with `url=jira_url_header` directly. There is no `validate_url` call, no IP range check, no hostname validation.\n\nThe fix adds URL validation to some paths but the header-based URL extraction in `_process_authentication_headers()` still passes raw URLs through. The derived config objects use the header URL directly and the fetcher makes HTTP requests to that URL.\n\n### PoC\n\n```python\njira_url_header = headers.get(b\"x-atlassian-jira-url\")\njira_url_str = jira_url_header.decode(\"latin-1\") if jira_url_header else None\nservice_headers[\"X-Atlassian-Jira-Url\"] = jira_url_str\n```\n\n**Steps to reproduce:**\n1. `git clone https://github.com/sooperset/mcp-atlassian /tmp/mcp-atlassian_test`\n2. `cd /tmp/mcp-atlassian_test && git checkout 5cd697dfce91~1`\n3. `pip install -e .`\n4. `python3 poc.py`\n\n**Expected output:**\n```\nVULNERABILITY CONFIRMED\nUser-supplied URLs from HTTP headers passed directly to JiraConfig/JiraFetcher with no SSRF validation\n```\n\n### Impact\n\nAn attacker can set `X-Atlassian-Jira-Url: http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/` to access AWS instance metadata, or target any internal service. The server makes authenticated HTTP requests to the attacker-specified URL.\n\n### Suggested Remediation\n\nValidate all user-supplied URLs against an allowlist of permitted hostnames or reject private/loopback/link-local IP ranges. Consider requiring server-side configuration of allowed Atlassian instance URLs.",
