What You Need to Do
Atlassian recommends that you upgrade to the latest version. For a full description of the latest version of Bitbucket Data Center, see the release notes. You can download the latest version of Bitbucket Data Center from the download centre.
Upgrade Bitbucket Data Center to version 6.1.2 or higher.
If you are running Bitbucket Data Center 5.13.x and cannot upgrade to 6.1.2 then upgrade to version 5.13.6.
If you are running Bitbucket Data Center 5.14.x and cannot upgrade to 6.1.2 then upgrade to version 5.14.4.
If you are running Bitbucket Data Center 5.15.x and cannot upgrade to 6.1.2 then upgrade to version 5.15.3.
If you are running Bitbucket Data Center 5.16.x and cannot upgrade to 6.1.2 then upgrade to version 5.16.3.
If you are running Bitbucket Data Center 6.0.x and cannot upgrade to 6.1.2 then upgrade to version 6.0.3.
Mitigation
The import functionality can be disabled via a feature flag, which would mitigate this vulnerability. This can be done by setting the property feature.data.center.migration.import=false in bitbucket.properties. Note that the export functionality would still work in this case. Bitbucket Server must then be restarted for changes to become effective.
If an import task still needs to be run, enable the feature on an isolated cluster node (inaccessible by users and admins but still connected to the cluster and accessible by sysadmins) with a node-local bitbucket.properties file where the property feature.data.center.migration.import=true is set. Imports can then be started by talking to this node directly while it would still be disabled on other nodes.
