In JetBrains TeamCity before 2026.1 insufficient username validation in the SAML plugin
AnalysisAI
Insufficient username validation in the SAML plugin of JetBrains TeamCity before 2026.1 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication controls and gain unauthorized access to CI/CD resources. The flaw (CWE-863, Incorrect Authorization) permits manipulation of the username field within SAML assertions, potentially enabling impersonation of legitimate users and unauthorized read/write access to build configurations and pipeline data. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog.
Technical ContextAI
JetBrains TeamCity is an enterprise CI/CD platform that optionally supports SAML 2.0-based Single Sign-On via a dedicated SAML plugin. SAML authentication relies on digitally signed XML assertions issued by an Identity Provider (IdP), with the Service Provider (TeamCity) validating and consuming those assertions to authenticate users. CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) indicates the root cause is a failure to properly enforce authorization rules during SAML username processing - the plugin does not sufficiently validate the username attribute in the incoming SAML response before granting access. This class of flaw can allow an attacker to supply a crafted or forged username value that bypasses account-level access controls. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:jetbrains:teamcity:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all TeamCity versions prior to 2026.1.
RemediationAI
Upgrade JetBrains TeamCity to version 2026.1 or later, which resolves the insufficient username validation in the SAML plugin. The vendor advisory is published at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. As an interim workaround prior to patching, disable SAML SSO in TeamCity and revert to native TeamCity authentication or an alternative federation method - note that this will disrupt any SSO workflows and require users to authenticate via local credentials. Additionally, restricting network access to the TeamCity server to known trusted IP ranges (e.g., internal corporate networks and authorized IdP hosts only) reduces the attack surface at the network perimeter. If SAML SSO must remain active, review IdP trust configurations and ensure only authorized Identity Providers are whitelisted in TeamCity SAML settings.
