In JetBrains TeamCity before 2026.1 2025.11.5 authenticated users could expose server API to unauthorised access
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in JetBrains TeamCity allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain unauthorized access to server APIs. Despite the CVE description stating 'authenticated users could expose server API,' the CVSS vector (PR:N) confirms no authentication is required for exploitation, enabling direct unauthorized API access with high confidentiality impact and limited integrity impact. JetBrains has released patches in versions 2026.1 and 2025.11.5. EPSS and KEV status not available at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
TeamCity is a continuous integration and deployment server platform by JetBrains. This vulnerability is classified as CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), indicating that server API endpoints lack proper authentication controls. The CVSS vector confirms network-accessible exploitation with low complexity against default configurations. The discrepancy between the description mentioning 'authenticated users' and the CVSS PR:N metric suggests the vulnerability may involve authenticated users inadvertently creating conditions that bypass authentication for subsequent requests, or API endpoints that should require authentication but accept unauthenticated requests.
RemediationAI
Upgrade JetBrains TeamCity to version 2026.1 or 2025.11.5 or later, depending on your maintenance branch, as documented in the vendor advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. For organizations unable to immediately patch, implement network-level access controls to restrict TeamCity server access to trusted IP ranges only, blocking public internet exposure. Configure web application firewall (WAF) rules to enforce authentication on all API endpoints if feasible, though this may interfere with legitimate integrations and requires thorough testing. Audit existing API access logs for unauthorized access patterns prior to patching. Review and rotate any credentials or tokens accessible through TeamCity APIs. These mitigations reduce attack surface but do not eliminate the vulnerability-prioritize patching over compensating controls.
