CVE-2026-77268: MCP Atlassian: Insecure File Permissions on OAuth Token Storage
The OAuth token fallback file storage in OAuthConfig._save_tokens_to_file() creates token files containing access tokens, refresh tokens, and cloud IDs with default filesystem permissions (typically 0644 on Linux, world-readable). Any local user on a shared system can read these files to obtain full Atlassian API credentials, enabling unauthorized access to the victim’s Jira and Confluence data.
