CVE-2026-77272 sooperset CVE debrief
A vulnerability in MCP Atlassian, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products, allows for markup or script injection in the browser of a user completing the OAuth flow due to improper escaping of the OAuth error query parameter. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0. The vulnerability impacts users completing the OAuth flow, and defenders should assess exposure and apply the patch to prevent potential script injection attacks. The issue arises from the OAuth error query parameter being passed to CallbackHandler._send_response in oauth_setup.py and interpolated into an HTML page without escaping. A crafted authorization callback can inject markup or script that The

- Potential script injection in user browsers completing the OAuth flow
- Possible unauthorized actions or data exposure due to injected scripts
- Required verification of MCP Atlassian version and application of patch
- Need for monitoring and incident response planning
Technical summary
The MCP Atlassian server for Atlassian products has a vulnerability where the OAuth error query parameter is passed to CallbackHandler._send_response in oauth_setup.py and interpolated into an HTML page without escaping. This allows for crafted authorization callbacks to inject markup or script that executes in the browser of a user completing the OAuth flow. The vulnerability impacts users completing the OAuth flow, and defenders should assess exposure and apply the patch to prevent potential script injection attacks.
Defensive priority
