Bitbucket Mesh
If you have configured Bitbucket Mesh nodes, these will need to be updated with to the corresponding version of Mesh that includes the fix. To find the version of Mesh compatible with Bitbucket Data Center version, please check the compatibility matrix. You can download the corresponding version from the download center.
If you are unsure if your Bitbucket instance has Bitbucket Mesh configured, as a user with system administration privileges navigate to Administration > Bitbucket Mesh, this page will list Mesh nodes each of which will need to be upgraded. If the list is empty, your instance does not have Mesh configured and this extra step is not required.
Mitigation
To remediate this vulnerability, update each affected product installation to a fixed version listed above.
If you’re unable to upgrade Bitbucket, a temporary mitigation step is to turn off public repositories globally by setting feature.public.access=false as this will change this attack vector from an unauthorized attack to an authorized attack. This can not be considered a complete mitigation as an attacker with a user account could still succeed.
