Jira can be an interesting attack target for recon, lateral movement, and exfiltration - but it is made all the more dangerous by a simple permissions misconfiguration at the heart of hundreds of exposed Jira instances discovered by the Varonis Threat Research Team.

Kilian Englert and Ryan O'Boyle from the Varonis Cloud Architecture team discuss why attackers would target Jira, dive into the threat research to understand how the misconfiguration could go unnoticed by admins, and how attackers can leverage the Jira APIs to extract even more info than is available in the product interface.
