3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1071)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper permissions checks. A remote user can remove an issue from an epic.


4) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0450)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. A remote user can add a branch with an ambiguous name that could be used to social engineer users.


5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1710)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote attacker can view the count of internal notes for a given issue.


6) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1417)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
