In short
Atlassian Crowd had a development plugin left enabled in production releases, allowing attackers to install malicious plugins remotely without authentication and execute arbitrary code on the server.
Technical detail
The pdkinstall development plugin was incorrectly enabled in release builds of Crowd and Crowd Data Center, permitting unauthenticated or authenticated remote attackers to install arbitrary plugins via direct requests, leading to remote code execution. This vulnerability affects multiple version branches (2.1.0–3.0.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.x, 3.3.x, and 3.4.x) prior to their respective patched releases.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
