Unauthorized integrity modification in JetBrains YouTrack before 2026.2.18634 allows any authenticated low-privilege user to alter links on issues they are explicitly prohibited from accessing by exploiting the whiteboard clone operation. The whiteboard clone workflow fails to validate the cloning user's authorization against issues referenced in the board, enabling cross-boundary write access governed by CWE-862 (Missing Authorization). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid authenticated user account on the target YouTrack instance with at least low-privilege access (PR:L per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 7.7 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N is internally consistent and credible: any authenticated YouTrack user can reach the clone endpoint over the network with no special configuration, no elevated privileges, and no victim interaction, and the resulting unauthorized link writes cross security domain boundaries. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade JetBrains YouTrack to version 2026.2.18634 or later, as documented in the JetBrains security advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
