Confidentiality: Low
Integrity: Low
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediately update the WorklogPRO - Jira Timesheets plugin to version 4.24.2-jira9 or later as provided by the vendor to ensure the vulnerability is patched. 2. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data fields, especially filter names and other customizable elements within Jira plugins. 3. Enforce Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser context, mitigating impact of XSS attacks. 4. Educate users about the risks of interacting with untrusted filters or links within Jira, emphasizing caution with shared filters or dashboards. 5. Regularly audit Jira plugin configurations and user-generated content for suspicious or malformed entries that could indicate attempted exploitation. 6. Monitor logs and user activity for anomalies that may suggest exploitation attempts, such as unusual filter creations or timesheet dialog usage. 7. Restrict permissions to create or modify filters to trusted users only, reducing the likelihood of malicious payload injection. 8. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAF) with rules tuned to detect and block XSS payloads targeting Jira instances. 9. Coordinate with Atlassian support and plugin vendors for timely security updates and advisories.

Description

The WorklogPRO - Jira Timesheets plugin in the Jira Data Center before 4.24.2-jira9, 4.24.2-jira10 and 4.24.2-jira11 allows attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript via XSS. This is exploited via a crafted payload placed in the name of a filter. This code is executed in the browser when the user attempts to create a timesheet with the filter timesheet type on the custom timesheet dialog because the filter name is not properly sanitized during the action.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to confidentiality and integrity of data accessed via Jira Data Center instances using the vulnerable WorklogPRO plugin. Attackers exploiting this XSS flaw could hijack user sessions, steal sensitive project management data, or perform unauthorized actions within Jira under the victim’s identity. This is particularly impactful for organizations relying heavily on Jira for software development, IT service management, and project tracking, as it could lead to intellectual property exposure or disruption of workflows. The vulnerability requires user interaction, so phishing or social engineering could be used to lure users into triggering the malicious filter. Given Jira’s prevalence in European enterprises, especially in technology, finance, and government sectors, the risk is non-trivial. However, the lack of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate threat levels. Still, unpatched systems remain vulnerable to targeted attacks, potentially by advanced persistent threat (APT) groups or opportunistic attackers. The impact is magnified in environments where multiple users share filters or dashboards, increasing the attack surface. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations could be jeopardized if sensitive data is exposed through exploitation.
