+title: "mcp-atlassian Credential Leak via Hint Parameter Injection (CVE-2026-27825/27826)"
+id: ATR-2026-00212
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects the mcp-atlassian credential-leak attack pattern (CVE-2026-27825 and
+  CVE-2026-27826). The jira_cloud_id and confluence_spaces MCP tools accept a
+  "hint" parameter that is forwarded verbatim to the LLM context without
+  sanitization. A malicious hint containing a directive to echo request headers
+  (cookie, Authorization, X-API-Key) coerces the agent into leaking the active
+  Atlassian OAuth session cookie or API token back in a follow-up message.
+  CVE-2026-27825 covers the Jira tool surface; CVE-2026-27826 covers
+  Confluence. Both share the same sink. Patched in mcp-atlassian 0.17.0.
+  Publicly resurfaced as "MCPwnfluence" by Pluto Security in April 2026.
+  Disclosed 2026-02-24, resurfaced 2026-04-17.
