Mitigations

Unable to upgrade right away? Both CVEs can be mitigated with changes to your reverse proxy and/or Tomcat directly. See the specific KB articles for details on how to apply the mitigations:

• Jira Software CVE-2019-15001 Mitigation
• Jira Service Desk CVE-2019-14994 Mitigation

Need help applying these mitigations? To keep questions manageable for the Community to answer, this article is locked for comments. You can ask a new question with this link, which includes the tags that help us see that the question relates to the advisories.

Migrations

Past security advisories have raised numerous questions around migrations. Some administrators, especially those with Server Starter (10 user) licenses, have opted to migrate to Atlassian Cloud instead of upgrading their existing Server instances to the latest versions. If this describes your situation, we are also happy to help with any migration questions using this link, which includes the tags that help us keep track of questions well.
