If you are unsure if your Bitbucket instance has Bitbucket Mesh configured, as a user with system administration privileges navigate to Administration > Bitbucket Mesh, this page will list Mesh nodes each of which will need to be upgraded. If the list is empty, your instance does not have Mesh configured and this extra step is not required.
Workaround
To remediate this vulnerability, update each affected product installation to a fixed version listed above.
If you’re unable to upgrade Bitbucket, a temporary mitigation step is to turn off public repos globally by setting feature.public.access=false as this will change this attack vector from an unauthorized attack to an authorized attack.
