CVE-2026-77261

### Summary `_make_ssrf_safe_hook()` blocks HTTP redirects to private/internal IPs by validating the `Location` header before the client follows a `3xx` response. The problem is that this hook is only attached in one of three authentication branches — the header-PAT path. Basic auth and OAuth branches skip it entirely, so if the connected Atlassian server returns a redirect to something like `http://169.254.169.254/`, the `requests` session follows it without complaint. This is an incomplete fix for GHSA-7r34-79r5-rcc9. The hook works fine when it's there — it just isn't there for most production auth configurations. ### Details In `src/mcp_atlassian/servers/dependencies.py`, three branches construct a fetcher and call `_create_and_validate()`. Only Branch 1 passes `attach_ssrf_hook=True`: ```python # Branch 1 (header PAT) — hook attached return _create_and_validate(request, spec, header_config, "header_pat", attach_ssrf_hook=True) # Branch 2 (basic auth) — hook missing return _create_and_validate(request, spec, user_config, "basic", user_email=user_email) # Branch 3 (OAuth/PAT) — hook missing return _create_and_validate(request, spec, user_config, "oauth_pat", user_email=user_email) ``` `attach_ssrf_hook` defaults to `False`, so branches 2 and 3 silently skip the protection. The hook itself (`_make_ssrf_safe_hook`) is straightforward — it checks `response.is_redirect`, grabs the `Location` header, and calls `validate_url_for_ssrf()` to reject private IPs. It works correctly when present. Typical attack flow: 1. Attacker controls or compromises an Atlassian instance (Cloud or Server) 2. MCP server connects using basic auth or OAuth credentials (most production setups) 3. Atlassian returns `302 Location: http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/` 4. The unprotected session follows the redirect 5. AWS IAM credentials (or other internal service data)
