Atlassian Confluence Server is a popular team collaboration software that facilitates the creation, sharing, and management of content such as documents, ideas, and knowledge among members of a team or organization. The platform brings together different features, including document editing, project management, and social networking capabilities, making it a versatile tool for both small and large businesses. Atlassian Confluence Server is widely used by businesses to streamline their workflows, centralize information, and boost productivity.

However, the platform has been found to have a serious vulnerability that could lead to unauthorized access to restricted resources. The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2021-26085, was discovered in versions of Atlassian Confluence Server prior to version 7.4.10 and from version 7.5.0 to version 7.12.3. The weakness is essentially a pre-authorization arbitrary file read defect that could allow remote attackers to gain access to sensitive files without proper authentication.

This vulnerability poses a significant risk to businesses that use Atlassian Confluence Server because attackers can potentially access confidential information stored on the platform. Hackers can leverage this vulnerability to tap into critical company data, including confidential documents, login credentials, and financial information.
