Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network reachability to a JetBrains TeamCity server running a version before 2025.11 that has a GitHub App integration configured (i.e., a GitHub App token must exist for its metadata to be exposed). The impact is bounded to disclosure of that token's metadata, not the token secret, and only confidentiality is affected. The practical limiting factor is the GitHub App integration being configured; instances without GitHub App connections have nothing to leak. The CVSS vector claims no authentication (PR:N), but because the underlying issue is improper authorization (CWE-863), defenders should confirm whether anonymous access is actually sufficient on their deployment.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity information disclosure flaw (CVSS 5.3) that is unlikely to be a top-tier priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity issue requiring no privileges or user interaction, but the impact is limited to confidentiality (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect - consistent with exposure of GitHub App token metadata rather than the token secret or code execution. The EPSS score of 0.22% (12th percentile) signals very low probability of exploitation in the wild, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing, so all exploitation signals align toward low real-world urgency. One point of tension: the vector asserts PR:N (unauthenticated) while the root cause is improper access control / improper authorization (CWE-863), which typically implies some authenticated but under-privileged context; the published vector should be treated as the authoritative claim since it comes from the JetBrains CNA, but defenders operating hardened TeamCity instances should verify whether truly anonymous access is required. No SSVC decision data was provided in the input.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker with network access to a TeamCity server (before 2025.11) issues requests that, due to improper access control, return metadata associated with a configured GitHub App token that the requester should not be able to view. The attacker uses this leaked metadata for reconnaissance of the CI/CD-to-GitHub integration. No public exploit code is known, and the disclosed data is metadata - not the token secret itself - limiting direct follow-on impact.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 07, 2026

Improper access control in JetBrains TeamCity versions before 2025.11 can expose metadata associated with a configured GitHub App token, allowing network attackers to read limited confidential information (CVSS 5.3, C:L only) without affecting integrity or availability. The flaw only matters on servers that actually have a GitHub App integration configured, and the exposure is limited to the token's metadata rather than the token secret itself. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low at 0.22% (12th percentile), and there is no CISA KEV listing, so this is a moderate-severity information disclosure issue rather than an urgent, actively exploited threat; the assessed vector shows PR:N, but because the root cause is an authorization defect (CWE-863), defenders should verify whether anonymous access is truly sufficient on their deployment.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade JetBrains TeamCity to version 2025.11 or later, which is the first release containing the fix for this authorization defect; consult the vendor's fixed-issues advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/ to confirm the specific build and any related hardening notes. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, reduce exposure by treating the GitHub App integration as the asset at risk: audit and, where possible, temporarily remove or disable GitHub App integrations on internet-facing TeamCity instances (side effect: loss of GitHub App-based VCS/status integrations until re-enabled and re-authorized), and restrict network access to the TeamCity server via firewall rules or a reverse proxy that limits reachability to trusted networks (side effect: legitimate remote developers and CI agents may be blocked until allowlisted). As a precaution given the CWE-863 root cause and the PR:N vector, validate whether anonymous users can reach the affected functionality on your deployment and tighten TeamCity authentication/authorization settings accordingly. Rotating the GitHub App credentials after applying the fix is a reasonable hygiene step if you suspect the metadata endpoint was reachable, although the disclosure is limited to metadata rather than the token secret.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is an instance of CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) in JetBrains TeamCity, a widely deployed CI/CD server. Internally, TeamCity supports integration with GitHub Apps, and a configured integration stores token material and associated metadata that the server uses for authenticated API operations against GitHub. Because access control checks on the endpoint that surfaces this metadata are insufficient, a caller can retrieve metadata describing the GitHub App token that it should not be permitted to see. Critically, per the assessed conditions, the disclosed data is metadata rather than the token secret, so the impact is bounded to confidentiality (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:jetbrains:teamcity:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the CPE feed lists the TeamCity application generically without version constraints, so version scoping must rely on the description's 'before 2025.11' boundary and the vendor advisory rather than the CPE alone. The assessed vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) describes a low-complexity network-reachable information leak, but the practical prerequisite is that a GitHub App integration exists on the target instance, since an instance with no GitHub App configured has no such metadata to leak.
