Vulnerability details
syracom AG Secure Login (2FA) for Atlassian Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket 3.4.0.x contains an authentication bypass vulnerability. An attacker with valid credentials for a user account can bypass the two-factor authentication flow by sending HTTP requests with a crafted User-Agent…

header containing specific strings such as AtlassianMobileApp or JIRA. When such a User-Agent is present, the plugin does not enforce the configured 2FA checks for protected web resources. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to access the affected Atlassian application as the compromised user without completing 2FA. If the compromised account has administrative privileges, the attacker can access administrative functionality and may disable the 2FA plugin or make arbitrary administrative changes. The issue is fixed in version 3.5.0.0.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Authorizing remote access reduces the ability to bypass authentication via unauthorized alternate remote channels.
Users can identify logons via alternate paths or channels by reviewing the previous logon time.
Adaptive requirements can apply across access paths, reducing the ability to bypass authentication via alternate channels or paths.
Centralized IdPs close alternate authentication paths that enable bypass.
Enforces authentication for non-organizational users, making it harder to bypass via alternate paths or channels.
Requires authentication to occur exclusively over the isolated trusted path, directly preventing bypass via alternate or untrusted channels.
