Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid YouTrack user account at any privilege level - no administrative or elevated role is needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N is well-calibrated: network-accessible with low attack complexity, but gated behind valid authentication (PR:L), producing a 6.5 Medium score that reflects the real-world risk accurately. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated YouTrack user with access limited to a single low-sensitivity project sends a crafted POST request to the draft creation endpoint, referencing the numeric ID of an article belonging to a restricted project they do not have authorization to view. The endpoint processes the request and returns the full article body without enforcing project-level read permissions, exposing confidential documentation to the caller. …
Remediation Upgrade to JetBrains YouTrack 2026.1.13903 or 2026.2.17950 (or any later release in the respective branch), as these are the vendor-confirmed fixed versions per the advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
