Software company Atlassian issued an advisory on 2 June concerning a previously unknown critical vulnerability (CVE-2022-26134), a so-called zero-day. The vulnerability concerns all supported versions of Atlassian Confluence Server and Confluence Datacenter. This does not concern Atlassian Cloud according to Atlassian. NCSC-NL published an advisory, rating the vulnerability as High/High. No patch is currently available.

The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated actor to remotely execute code and access sensitive information within the scope of the system.
