mcp-atlassian has an incomplete SSRF remediation
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| PyPI | mcp-atlassian | < 0.22.0 | 0.22.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
The `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.
### Affected Package
- **Ecosystem:** PyPI
- **Package:** mcp-atlassian
- **Affected versions:** all versions before fix commit 5cd697dfce91
- **Patched versions:** >= commit 5cd697dfce91
### Details
In `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.
The 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.
### PoC
```python
jira_url_header = headers.get(b"x-atlassian-jira-url")
jira_url_str = jira_url_header.decode("latin-1") if jira_url_header else None
service_headers["X-Atlassian-Jira-Url"] = jira_url_str
```
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. `git clone https://github.com/sooperset/mcp-atlassian /tmp/mcp-atlassian_test`
2. `cd /tmp/mcp-atlassian_test && git checkout 5cd697dfce91~1`
3. `pip install -e .`
4. `python3 poc.py`
**Expected output:**
```
VULNERABILITY CONFIRMED
User-supplied URLs from HTTP headers passed directly to JiraConfig/JiraFetcher with no SSRF validation
```
### Impact
An 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.
### Suggested Remediation
Validate 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.
