Deprecation Notice Third-party package mirrors will no longer be available

We are removing mirrors of third-party packages such as maven-central from packages.atlassian.com

More details

We're updating how we provide packages for customers and partners to develop with our platforms. Starting February 1, 2025, we will discontinue providing third-party packages on packages.atlassian.com.

Announcement New Data Center app security scanners coming soon

Midway through this quarter, we’ll be adding new Data Center app scanners to our suite of scanners (Ecoscanner) that scans Data Center apps listed on the Marketplace.

Here is what we’ll be scanning for:

  • Use of hardcoded secrets in Marketplace Data Center apps

  • Potential malware in Marketplace Data Center apps

More details

To expand on this, the new DC app scanners will include:

  • Secret scanner: The new secret scanner will look for any hard-coded secrets in DC apps that could potentially pose a security risk if exposed. We engineered the scanner to detect secrets and manage potential security risks, ensuring that customer data remains protected from unauthorized access.

  • Malware scanner: Atlassian has implemented a robust malware scanning system for all Data Center applications in the Marketplace. This scan aims to identify and mitigate potential malware threats, thereby enhancing the security and integrity of our DC applications.

If a risk is detected: Atlassian will alert the app developer so they may investigate. If there is a critical risk, we recommend that Marketplace Partners notify customers.

We won’t begin issuing these new tickets to partners at this time; this is a preliminary announcement and an opportunity for partners to prepare. Atlassian plans on issuing tickets after August 15th 2024 via the AMS Jira project.

We are committed to working collaboratively with partners to continue improving the security of our Marketplace and fostering trust with our customers.

Partners with Partner Portal access can view the announcement in the Partner Portal blog.

Early Access Two-step verification login for Data Center EAP 01

The prototype version of the new login experience for Data Center is now available. Download this .jar file and test it against your apps to identify any potential conflicts.

More details

This prototype is intended purely as a test to check how the new two-step verification experience affects your apps' functionality and determine if any changes are necessary. The scope, functionality, API, quality, look and feel, and security level of the prototype aren’t representative of the final solution.

The production version of two-step verification will be developed separately from the prototype version but the fundamental technical concept will remain unchanged.

This prototype is for testing purposes only. Don’t install it on production environments.

To install the app, follow https://confluence.atlassian.com/upm/installing-add-ons-273875715.html#InstallingMarketplaceapps-InstallaDataCenterorServerapp. In case the upload is disabled, check https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-re-enable-plugin-upload-1364557898.html.

Watch this video guide for more information on the prototype and how to test it.

Announcement Changes in publishing artifacts to the Atlassian Public Maven repository

As part of our ongoing commitment to security, we’ll cease publishing development releases of Data Center product artifacts to the Atlassian Maven repository. Moving forward, only artifacts used in the Early Access Program (EAP) and final product releases will be available to maintain the highest level of security for our customers.
