AIPromptArmor reports that a hidden prompt injection in an uploaded file can make Atlassian Rovo send Jira tickets and Confluence documents to an attacker's URL without human approval. The attack works even when organization-wide web search is disabled, because the setting does not remove the URL retrieval tool. PromptArmor says it disclosed the issue to Atlassian on May 23, 2026, and that Rovo remained vulnerable at publication on August 5, 2026.
Why it matters: The report traces a full indirect prompt injection chain in Rovo, showing how a disabled web search setting still leaves a data exfiltration path open.
