DescriptionCVE.org

In JetBrains YouTrack before 2025.3.160480, 2026.1.14047 pUT requests on link sub-resources allowed modification linked entities without update permission

AnalysisAI

Incorrect authorization in JetBrains YouTrack before versions 2025.3.160480 and 2026.1.14047 allows authenticated low-privilege users to modify linked issue entities they lack update permission on by issuing PUT requests directly to link sub-resources. The flaw bypasses YouTrack's permission model at the HTTP method level, enabling integrity violations across project boundaries-reflected in the CVSS scope change (S:C). …
