CVE-2017-16857

8.5 highEPSS 0.6%

High (8.5) in atlassian bitbucket auto unapprove plugin. EPSS 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.
