What this means for your business
- It affects Atlassian Crowd and Crowd Data Center. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
- Attackers are already using it. CISA added it to its list of flaws used in real attacks on 3 November 2021.
- Ransomware gangs are known to have used it.
- FIRST's prediction model gives it a 95% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 99% of all known flaws.
What to do

- 2If you do, follow CISA's required action below. No patch reference has been published yet.

- 4Because attackers have used it, check the affected systems for signs of a break-in, not only for the update.
