Vulnerability: Bypassing Bitbucket Auto-Unapprove Plugin via Minimal Brute-Force

CVE-2017-16857 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:S/C:P/I:P/A:P

It is possible to bypass the bitbucket auto-unapprove plugin via minimal brute-force because it is relying on asynchronous events on the back-end. This allows an attacker to merge any code into unsuspecting repositories. This affects all versions of the auto-unapprove plugin, however since the auto-unapprove plugin is not bundled with Bitbucket Server it does not affect any particular version of Bitbucket.
