The labels widget gadget in Atlassian Jira before version 7.6.11 and from version 7.7.0 before version 7.13.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript via a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the rendering of retrieved content from a url location that could be manipulated by the up_projectid widget preference setting.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This Jira issue is a cross-site scripting flaw in the labels widget gadget. A remote attacker could inject HTML or JavaScript through manipulated widget preference data. The sources name fixed Jira ranges but provide no CVSS score, no KEV listing, and no confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to Jira instances running the affected version ranges with the labels widget gadget available or used. The bundle does not specify Jira deployment type, authentication requirements, or whether internet exposure is necessary. Treat this as a targeted Jira hardening item, not an emergency based on current evidence. Prioritize exposed or business-critical Jira systems because XSS in collaboration tools can affect users and workflows. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Jira to a fixed version: 7.6.11, 7.13.1, or later supported releases.; Review Atlassian JRASERVER-68614 for vendor guidance and version-specific advice.; Restrict access to Jira dashboards and gadgets until affected versions are remediated..
