Is CVE-2022-36804 being exploited?

Weaponised and widely attempted

Reliable public exploit code exists, or mass exploitation attempts are probable. Patch inside days, not weeks.

Atlassian Bitbucket Server and Data Center Command Injection Vulnerability

Atlassian · Bitbucket Server and Data Center

CVSS 8.8 EPSS 99% 1 public exploit Fix deadline passed 21 October 2022

What it is

Multiple API endpoints of Atlassian Bitbucket Server and Data Center contain a command injection vulnerability where an attacker with access to a public Bitbucket repository, or with read permissions to a private one, can execute code by sending a malicious HTTP request.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 99%
  • 1 public exploit published
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2022-10-21) has passed
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply updates per vendor instructions.

Public exploit code

Indexed from Exploit-DB. Presence of code raises urgency; absence does not mean safety.

What it costs when this goes wrong

This is where UK enforcement meets the vulnerability record. Where an unfixed vulnerability leads to a breach, the ICO treats it as a security failure under UK GDPR. Recent cases:
