CVE-2026-73498
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, confluence_upload_attachment passes its client-supplied file_path directly to open(file_path, "rb") in src/mcp_atlassian/confluence/attachments.py through _upload_attachment_direct() without calling validate_safe_path. An authenticated MCP client can read any file accessible to the server process and exfiltrate it to Confluence as an attachment. If an AI agent can be induced to call the tool through untrusted content, the same flaw can disclose server environment variables such as CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN and other credentials. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.

No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability can affect other systems as well, not just the initial system. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information.
