Unknown · Mcp-Attlasian · CVE-2026-77251
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MCP Atlassian versions prior to 0.22.0
**Description**
Three distinct issues allow attacker-controlled queries to access content from forbidden projects or spaces, bypassing the restrictions set by the `JIRA PROJECTS FILTER` and `CONFLUENCE SPACES FILTER` environment variables. These filters are intended to limit MCP clients, such as prompt-injected LLM agents, to a specific subset of the workspace.
The issues occur in the following areas:
- In the `jira search` function, a substring check is bypassed when a user provides a JQL query containing `project = <forbidden-project>`, allowing access to projects not in the allowlist.
- In the `confluence search` function, the substring check for `space = ` is case-sensitive, meaning a query using `SPACE = <forbidden-space>` bypasses the filter.
- The `get board issues()` and `get agile boards()` functions completely omit the `projects filter` enforcement, allowing the enumeration of boards and issues across the entire workspace.
These flaws are exploitable when the operator's credentials have broader access permissions than the intended allowlist.
**Recommendations**
Update MCP Atlassian to version 0.22.0.
As a temporary mitigation, restrict the permissions of the Personal Access Token (PAT) used by the operator to only the projects and spaces that should be accessible.
