What are the consequences and over all result of this critical vulnerability?

I have a small company that might have been marked. Only a subtle indications of that. How can I check it out, and if there is an impact, what are the necessary steps to protect me  and company?

Hi, Evangeline,

For the full picture, I suggest reviewing the advisory:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/jira-security-advisory-2022-04-20-1115127899.html

And also, the FAQ:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/faq-for-cve-2022-0540-1123193843.html

In the matter on knowing whether you were marked, there's no known indicator of such for you to confirm your suspicion. 

In summary, we strongly recommend planning an upgrade and applying the mitigation steps provided in the Advisory if the upgrade cannot be done in the short-term.

Thank you  @Filipi Lima . I just realised I was looking in the wrong place. I should be able to upgrade and apply mitigation steps.
