Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This Jira issue lets remote attackers view information about archived projects because BrowseProjects.jspa did not enforce authorization correctly. It is an information-disclosure risk, not described as code execution or system takeover. The business concern is exposure of hidden project metadata that may reveal customers, initiatives, or internal work.
Executive priority
Prioritize remediation in normal vulnerability cycles, faster for public Jira instances or environments with sensitive archived project metadata. This is a confidentiality issue with no cited active exploitation in the provided sources.
Technical view
CVE-2019-3399 is a CWE-863 missing authorization check in Jira's BrowseProjects.jspa resource. Affected versions are Jira before 7.13.2 and Jira 8.0.0 before 8.0.2. The described impact is unauthorized visibility into archived project information.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most relevant for internet-facing or broadly accessible Jira instances running affected versions. Internal-only instances still matter if untrusted users, contractors, or compromised accounts can reach Jira.
Exploitation context
The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. They describe a remote attacker visibility issue affecting archived project information through a missing authorization check.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE description and Atlassian issue reference. No CVSS vector is provided in the bundle. Keep analysis scoped to archived project information exposure and avoid assuming broader Jira data compromise.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade Jira to 7.13.2, 8.0.2, or a later supported version.
- Review Atlassian JRASERVER-69246 for vendor-specific remediation guidance.
- Restrict Jira access to trusted networks while remediation is pending.
- Review archived projects for sensitive names, metadata, or business context.
Validation and detection
- Inventory Jira versions and identify instances before 7.13.2 or 8.0.2.
- Confirm BrowseProjects.jspa no longer exposes archived project information to unauthorized users.
- Review Jira access logs for unusual BrowseProjects.jspa access patterns.
- Verify archived project visibility matches intended authorization policy.

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