Widget Connector Macro is part of Atlassian Confluence Server and Data Center that allows embed online videos, slideshows, photostreams and more directly into page. A _template parameter can be used to inject remote Java code into a Velocity template, and gain code execution. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. By default, Java payload will be used because it is cross-platform, but you can also specify which native payload you want (Linux or Windows). Confluence before version 6.6.12, from version 6.7.0 before 6.12.3, from version 6.13.0 before 6.13.3 and from version 6.14.0 before 6.14.2 are affected.

Widget Connector Macro is part of Atlassian Confluence Server and Data Center that
allows embed online videos, slideshows, photostreams and more directly into page.
A _template parameter can be used to inject remote Java code into a Velocity template,
and gain code execution. Authentication is unrequired to exploit this vulnerability.
By default, Java payload will be used because it is cross-platform, but you can also
specify which native payload you want (Linux or Windows).
Confluence before version 6.6.12, from version 6.7.0 before 6.12.3, from version
6.13.0 before 6.13.3 and from version 6.14.0 before 6.14.2 are affected.
