CVE-2012-2928
Status: ModifiedMedium (6.4)—
The Gliffy plugin before 3.7.1 for Atlassian JIRA, and before 4.2 for Atlassian Confluence, does not properly restrict the capabilities of third-party XML parsers, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via unspecified vectors.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P
- Base score: 6.4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.02%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 87
- Score date: 10/3/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
