Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The mcp-atlassian package, versions before 0.22.0, is affected when run with its HTTP transport. The token verifier accepts any non-empty token, and when no Authorization header is sent the server does not reject the request. An attacker who can reach the HTTP transport can therefore use the server's configured Jira or Confluence credentials and act with operator-level access to that Atlassian instance. Upgrade to 0.22.0 or later. The source gives no other workaround.
