Atlassian fixes critical vulnerability in development collaboration products

A critical vulnerability in popular software development collaboration products by Atlassian allows attackers to compromise servers.

The vulnerability affects Atlassian Confluence, a wiki-like collaboration platform for software development teams; Bamboo, a software build and testing platform; FishEye, a code-tracking system for centralizing different repositories; and Crucible, a collaborative peer code review framework.
