1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation

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 active authenticated session with at least low-level privileges in YouTrack (confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS vector). The attacker must be able to reach the YouTrack web interface over the network (AV:N, AC:L). The specific pages involved are the Users and Groups administrative sections of the application - the vulnerability is scoped to these endpoints and does not appear to affect other parts of the application. No user interaction from another party is required (UI:N). What limits exploitation: the attacker must hold a valid YouTrack account; unauthenticated external parties cannot exploit this flaw. The impact is confined to read-only disclosure of user and group metadata - no write access, privilege escalation, or remote code execution is possible through this vulnerability alone.

Impact

The CVSS 4.3 Medium score reflects a realistic but bounded impact: the attack vector is network (AV:N), complexity is low (AC:L), privileges required are low (PR:L), no user interaction is needed (UI:N), and the scope is unchanged (S:U) with only confidentiality impact at a low level (C:L/I:N/A:N). This means any authenticated user - including those with minimal permissions such as a basic project member - can potentially exploit this flaw over the network with no further prerequisites. However, the impact is limited to information disclosure; no integrity or availability risk is present. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, and this CVE does not appear in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation. The tag 'Authentication Bypass' in the source data is potentially misleading: the CVSS vector confirms PR:L (low privilege required), meaning exploitation is not truly unauthenticated - the bypass is of authorization checks within an already-authenticated session, not of the authentication mechanism itself. Real-world priority should be moderate: the flaw is easy to exploit for any account holder but yields only organizational metadata rather than credentials or code execution.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated YouTrack user with a standard low-privilege project member account navigates directly to the Users and Groups administrative pages. Due to the incorrect authorization check, the server returns user account metadata and group membership details that the user's role should not permit them to see, enabling enumeration of the organization's internal structure, active accounts, and team groupings. No special tooling or exploit code is required - the disclosure is triggered through normal browser navigation.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 29, 2026

Information disclosure in JetBrains YouTrack before version 2026.1.13162 allows authenticated low-privilege users to access sensitive user and group membership data they are not authorized to view. Rooted in CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), the flaw exists on the Users and Groups administrative pages, where authorization checks are insufficiently enforced for authenticated sessions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; however, the low access complexity means any authenticated attacker can reliably reproduce the condition.

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to upgrade JetBrains YouTrack to version 2026.1.13162 or later, which is confirmed as the patched release per the JetBrains security advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. Organizations unable to upgrade immediately should consider restricting access to the Users and Groups administrative pages at the network or application layer - for example, by enforcing role-based access policies that limit who can reach administrative UI paths, or by deploying a reverse proxy that requires additional authentication before serving those routes. Note that these workarounds introduce operational overhead and may break legitimate administrative workflows. Because the vulnerability requires an authenticated session, temporarily tightening account provisioning policies (e.g., disabling self-registration or guest access if enabled) can reduce the pool of potential exploiters until patching is complete.

Technical ContextAI · show details

JetBrains YouTrack is a web-based project management and issue tracking platform commonly deployed in enterprise environments. The affected component is the Users and Groups administrative interface, which governs visibility into organizational structure, account metadata, and group assignments. CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) identifies the root cause as a failure to correctly verify that an authenticated user holds sufficient privileges before presenting protected resources - the system authenticates the user but does not properly enforce authorization boundaries for these specific pages. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:jetbrains:youtrack:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all tracked versions of the application product are considered affected up to the fixed release, and the wildcard range suggests this was a longstanding authorization gap rather than a regression introduced in a specific release.

Attack Technique

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
