MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated TeamCity account with sufficient permissions to inject content into build output that is rendered in the classic build log view (PR:L), plus a victim - typically another user or administrator - who subsequently opens that specific stored build log in a browser (UI:R). It affects TeamCity versions before 2026.2, 2026.1.4, and 2025.11.8; instances already upgraded to those versions, or deployments where build-triggering access is tightly restricted to trusted users, are not realistically exploitable. The need for both prior authentication and victim interaction, combined with the vendor's AC:H rating, substantially limits opportunistic or automated exploitation. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity, authenticated stored XSS (CWE-79) in JetBrains TeamCity's classic build log, carrying a vendor CVSS of 6.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U). The vector itself tempers the raw score: exploitation requires an attacker who already holds a low-privileged authenticated account (PR:L), relies on victim interaction - a user must view the poisoned build log (UI:R) - and is rated high attack complexity (AC:H). No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public proof-of-concept is present in the provided intelligence, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or widespread automated weaponization; this reads as a defense-in-depth fix rather than an emergency. The vendor's C:H/I:H impact rating is notably aggressive for a scope-unchanged stored XSS and appears to assume script execution can lead to full session/action compromise of a privileged viewer; the S:U (scope unchanged) choice sits in tension with that, since classic XSS payloads execute in the victim's browser context, which many assessors treat as a scope change - verify impact assumptions with JetBrains. Bottom line: a genuine issue worth patching in CI/CD pipelines that handle sensitive build secrets, but not a drop-everything priority absent exploitation signals. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged TeamCity user with the ability to influence build output injects a malicious script payload that is persistently stored in the classic build log. When a higher-privileged user or administrator later opens that build log in their browser, the stored script executes in their authenticated session, potentially hijacking their session token or performing actions on their behalf. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 15, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in JetBrains TeamCity's classic build log allows an authenticated user with permission to inject content into build output to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of another user who views the affected log. The flaw affects TeamCity versions before 2026.2, 2026.1.4, and 2025.11.8, and exploitation requires both authentication and victim interaction, making it a moderate-severity risk (vendor CVSS 6.7). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to JetBrains TeamCity 2026.2, 2026.1.4, or 2025.11.8 (or later) to receive the vendor-released patches for this stored XSS vulnerability. The vendor's advisory is available at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. If immediate upgrading is not possible, restrict the ability to inject content into build output to only fully trusted users, as this reduces the attack surface but may impact development workflows. Additionally, consider migrating to the modern build log interface if available, as the vulnerability specifically affects the classic build log. Note that no public exploit code has been identified, but patching is still recommended due to the potential for session hijacking or other client-side attacks.

Technical ContextAI · show details
JetBrains TeamCity is a continuous integration and delivery server. The classic build log view renders build output without adequate output encoding, leading to a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79). An attacker with a TeamCity account that can contribute to build output can inject malicious script that is stored and later executed when another user opens the build log. The affected component is the classic build log, and all versions prior to 2026.2, 2026.1.4, and 2025.11.8 are vulnerable, as indicated by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:jetbrains:teamcity:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.
