CVE-2020-29453
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.3)—💥 Exploit
The CachingResourceDownloadRewriteRule class in Jira Server and Jira Data Center before version 8.5.11, from 8.6.0 before 8.13.3, and from 8.14.0 before 8.15.0 allowed unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files within WEB-INF and META-INF directories via an incorrect path access check.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 5.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 24%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 98
- Score date: 10/7/2026
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).
💥 Public exploits
Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
