In short

A flaw in Jira Server and Data Center allows attackers to inject malicious template code through email functions, leading to remote code execution on the affected server. This is critical because it gives attackers complete control over the system without needing valid credentials.

Technical detail

Server-side template injection (SSTI) vulnerability in ContactAdministrators and SendBulkMail actions allows unauthenticated remote code execution. The attack vector requires sending specially crafted input to template rendering mechanisms; successful exploitation grants arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the Jira process.
