CVE-2026-21589 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-21589: h3. Summary This is a vulnerability in Bitbucket Data Center, Confluence Data Center, Jira Service Management Data Center, Jira Software Data Center, Bamboo Data Center. Crowd Data Center, Crucible and Fisheye. This Arbitrary File Access vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to access specific files within the web application root directory in affected versions. Exploitation requires prior knowledge of the target file's exact name and path; this vulnerability does not allow attackers to enumerate or list directory contents. In some configurations, there may be some sensitive files that make this highly severe.   h3. Context This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to access specific files within the web application root directory in affected versions. h3. Details: * The vulnerability must be addressed for affected versions of: Bitbucket Data Center, introduced in version >= 4.6.0, fix versions: 9.4.26, 10.2.8, 10.5.1 Confluence Data Center, introduced in version >= 5.10.0, fix versions 9.2.26, 10.2.19 Crowd Data Center, introduced in version >= 2.11.0, fix versions 6.3.7, 7.0.3, 7.1.1, 7.2.4 Jira Software Data Center, introduced in version >= 7.1.0, fix versions 9.12.40, 10.3.26, 11.3.12 Jira Service Management Data Center, introduced in version >= 3.1.0, fix versions 5.12.40, 10.3.26, 11.3.12 Bamboo Data Center >= 7.0.1, fix versions 10.2.24, 12.1.12 Crucible, fix versions 4.9.15 Fisheye, fix version 4.9.15 * Exploitation requires prior knowledge of the target file's exact name and path. * The vulnerability does not include the capability to enumerate or list directory contents.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-21589

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-21589 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-21589

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-21589.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-21589, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
