In JetBrains YouTrack before 2026.2.16593 project settings disclosure via the MCP was possible
AnalysisAI
Project settings disclosure in JetBrains YouTrack before version 2026.2.16593 allows an authenticated low-privileged user to read project configuration data they are not authorized to access via the MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. The root cause is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) on MCP-exposed endpoints, meaning the server returns project settings without validating the requesting user's project-level permissions. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid YouTrack account (authenticated access, PR:L per CVSS vector) - unauthenticated external attackers cannot exploit this vulnerability. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD-assigned CVSS 3.1 base score is 3.1 (Low), reflecting a narrow impact profile: only confidentiality of project settings is affected (C:L), with no integrity or availability impact (I:N/A:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated YouTrack user with low project privileges sends a crafted request to the YouTrack MCP interface targeting a project for which they lack administrative or settings-view access. Because the MCP handler omits the authorization check (CWE-862), the server returns project settings data without enforcing project-level permissions. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade JetBrains YouTrack to version 2026.2.16593 or later, which addresses the missing authorization check in the MCP integration per the vendor advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
