Vulnerability Description
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). From 0.17.0 until 0.22.0, validate_url_for_ssrf resolves the attacker-controlled X-Atlassian-Jira-Url and X-Atlassian-Confluence-Url header host once at middleware time, but the outbound request is built with the raw hostname and resolves it again at connection time with no IP pinning. An attacker-controlled DNS-rebinding name can return a public IP during validation and 169.254.169.254 or another internal IP during connection, enabling unauthenticated server-side requests to cloud metadata or internal services. The flaw spans src/mcp_atlassian/utils/urls.py, src/mcp_atlassian/servers/main.py, and src/mcp_atlassian/servers/dependencies.py; validate_url_for_ssrf returns only a verdict rather than a pinned IP, UserTokenMiddleware processes the attacker-controlled headers before fetcher creation, and the Jira and Confluence fetchers use the raw hostname. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
