Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid authenticated session in the YouTrack instance - confirmed by the CVSS vector PR:L (low-privileged user). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.1 score reflects genuine, actionable risk: network-reachable (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), low-privilege authentication required (PR:L), no user interaction needed (UI:N), with high confidentiality and integrity impact (C:H/I:H) and no availability impact (A:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated low-privileged YouTrack user with access to a shared or multi-organization instance identifies a target project belonging to another organization. The attacker submits a project transfer request to the API without holding the required authorization over the target project; due to the missing authorization check, the server processes the request and transfers the project - along with all its issues, attachments, and metadata - into the attacker's organization, granting full access to the project's data. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade JetBrains YouTrack to version 2026.2.17917 or later, which is the vendor-confirmed fixed release per the advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Verify your current YouTrack version and determine if it is prior to 2026.2.17917; if vulnerable, immediately restrict project transfer permissions to explicitly authorized administrators and disable cross-organization project transfers. …
