#92 - Security of Jira Assistant

iikjam commented on Sep 27, 2019

Could some1 tell me more about security of this solution? Is it possible that this addon somehow will steal my data from google/jira account? Usually data stored on gmail /jira account are quite sensitive.

Latest updates

27-Nov-2023 - Change in permissions for JA

In upcoming version (v2.58) of JA, by default, permission to access Cloud instance of Jira would be added. This would let the users to integrate with Cloud instance of Jira without prompting for permission at the time of integration. Hence for Chrome users, once the extension gets updated, it would get disabled due to change in permission. You can enable it again from Extensions page. However, for Firefox and Edge, extension already have access to all the sites (though it doesn't really need) which would be narrowed down only to atlassian.net which would be a security improvement.
