mcp-atlassian is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read

High Risk
This Affects:
mcp-atlassianTL;DR
The Jira and Confluence attachment upload tools treat a caller-controlled file_path as a server-local path and read it with the server process's privileges before uploading it as an attachment. In HTTP or multi-user deployments the caller and the server filesystem are separate trust boundaries, so a client with upload access can cause disclosure of arbitrary server-local files such as configuration and secrets. Exploitation is deterministic and does not depend on model behavior. The fix constrains upload paths with a safe-path check and rejects unsafe path forms.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you expose the attachment upload tools over the HTTP or SSE transport to untrusted callers.
