AI agent incident

Atlassian Rovo could be prompt-injected into sending Jira and Confluence data to attackers

Reported · 2 sources

What happened

Two independent research teams found that Atlassian's Rovo assistant could be prompt-injected into sending Jira and Confluence data to attacker-controlled servers, and Varonis reported a one-click flaw it called RovoBlast that could reach Confluence, Jira, and SharePoint data.

Why it matters

An assistant wired into the company wiki and the issue tracker has a lot of reach, and one of the two disclosed routes was not confirmed closed at the time of reporting.
