Atlassian Bamboo 5.x before 5.15.7 and 6.x before 6.0.1 did not correctly check if a user creating a deployment project had the edit permission and therefore the rights to do so. An attacker who can login to Bamboo as a user without the edit permission for deployment projects is able to use this vulnerability, provided there is an existing plan with a green build, to create a deployment project and execute arbitrary code on an available Bamboo Agent. By default a local agent is enabled; this means that code execution can occur on the system hosting Bamboo as the user running Bamboo.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw allowed a logged-in Bamboo user without deployment edit rights to create a deployment project and run code through a Bamboo Agent. If the default local agent was enabled, that code could run on the Bamboo server as the Bamboo service user. It is serious for any exposed or broadly accessible Bamboo instance. Exposure is limited to Atlassian Bamboo 5.0.0 through before 5.15.7 and 6.0.0 through before 6.0.1. Risk requires Bamboo login access, an existing plan with a green build, and an available Bamboo Agent. Prioritize remediation where Bamboo is reachable by many users or supports production delivery pipelines. A compromised CI/CD server can affect source integrity, build outputs, deployment credentials, and host security. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Bamboo 5.x to 5.15.7 or later.; Upgrade Bamboo 6.x to 6.0.1 or later.; Review Atlassian’s advisory for any environment-specific guidance..

Incorrect Authorization

Incorrect Authorization represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
