CVE-2023-44384

Summary

CVE-2023-44384 is a vulnerability affecting Discourse-jira, a Discourse plugin that automatically syncs Jira projects, issue types, fields, and field options. An administrator can conduct a Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attack by setting the Jira URL to an arbitrary location and enabling the `discourse_jira_verbose_log` site setting. A moderator user can manipulate the request path to the Jira API, allowing them to perform arbitrary GET requests using the Jira API credentials, potentially with elevated permissions. This issue could lead to unintended exposure of sensitive data or unauthorized access to protected resources.
