hi,
I am planning to disable token checking using jira.xsrf.enabled=false
jira.xsrf.enabled=
false
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA043/Form+Token+Handling
Will this lead to any security issues or vulnerabilities?
Hey there, Prathighantam.
As far as I am concerned, the security issue that you will need to be concerned of is the fact that your JIRA instance will be vulnerable to XSRF (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery) attacks. This prevent users being tricked into unintentionally submitting malicious data. Apart from that, I am not sure what other security issues is posed after you disable it.
Warm regards,
Danial
You need to look at it in terms of your risk/reward profile. What's your user base, is it small & trusted group or large & public. Is the information valuable? What would happen if it was stolen?
and what's the reason for turning it off? Is it worth the extra risk. Atlassian put this code there for a reason. Is there another way around this? Are you trying to use Jira in a way that it shouldn't be used?
This is concerning. We're turning off security measures to work around bugs? Our enterprise security office will not get behind this measure. Can we get an actual fix for this?
In terms of larger enterprise installations with oversight on security measures this really isn't feasible. Atlassian should focus on fixing the actual bug.
