Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid YouTrack user account with at least low-privilege access (PR:L per CVSS vector), meaning fully anonymous exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (Medium) is well-calibrated for this vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with a valid YouTrack account - even a low-privilege one - crafts a decompression bomb archive (e.g., a deeply nested zip with repetitive data achieving a 1000:1 or greater compression ratio) and submits it to the import endpoint. The server begins decompressing the file, rapidly exhausting available memory or CPU, causing YouTrack to become unresponsive or crash and denying service to all other users. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade JetBrains YouTrack to version 2026.2.18177 or later, which is the confirmed patched release per the JetBrains security advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
