| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation targets the fetchApp request handling in YouTrack instances running any build before 2026.1.13162; the specific prerequisite is network reachability of the YouTrack server's fetchApp endpoint. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration are required - exploitation works against reachable default installations. The primary limiting factor is exposure: instances restricted to internal networks, VPNs, or IP allowlists sharply reduce the attacker population, and only YouTrack builds prior to 2026.1.13162 are affected. Note that CISA SSVC rates technical impact as only 'partial', implying the information obtainable may be bounded rather than a complete data compromise. |
| Impact | The signals here are mixed and lean toward lower real-world priority despite the 7.5 (High) CVSS score. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H) describes an easily reachable, unauthenticated, network-exploitable confidentiality breach, which raises the base score. However, corroborating exploitation signals are all weak: EPSS is 0.00% (0th percentile), the vulnerability is not in CISA KEV, and CISA SSVC scoring rates Exploitation as 'none', Automatable as 'no', and Technical Impact as only 'partial'. The SSVC 'partial' technical impact contrasts with the CVSS C:H rating, suggesting the disclosed information may be scoped or limited rather than a full data compromise - this discrepancy is worth verifying against the vendor advisory. No public proof-of-concept has surfaced, and the disclosure originated from JetBrains itself rather than external exploitation reports. Overall this is a legitimate confidentiality bug that should be patched, but current evidence indicates it is not under active or imminent mass exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network access to a YouTrack instance sends a crafted fetchApp request to the server and receives back sensitive information that should not have been exposed, without needing valid credentials or tricking any user. Because attack complexity is low and no authentication is required, the request can be issued directly against any internet-reachable instance. No public proof-of-concept is known at this time. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Jul 22, 2026
Information disclosure in JetBrains YouTrack before 2026.1.13162 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive data through fetchApp requests. The flaw exposes confidential information without requiring authentication or user interaction, but carries no integrity or availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score of 0.00% reflects no observed exploitation activity.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Information disclosure in JetBrains YouTrack before version 2026.1.13162 exposes sensitive data through fetchApp requests, exploitable by a high-privileged user with required interaction. The CVSS vector (PR:H/UI:R/S:C) indicates this requires an authenticated administrator-level account, some form of user interaction, and crosses a security scope boundary - meaning disclosed data may reach an unintended security context. No public exploit exists and no KEV listing is present; this is a low-severity (CVSS 3.4) internal information leakage issue most relevant to hardened or compliance-sensitive YouTrack deployments.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade YouTrack to version 2026.1.13162 or later, which is the primary and recommended fix per JetBrains (see https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/). Self-managed YouTrack Server administrators should apply the update promptly; JetBrains-hosted InCloud instances are patched by the vendor. As a compensating control until patching, restrict network exposure of the YouTrack instance by placing it behind a VPN or IP-allowlist and limiting reachability of the affected fetchApp request path at a reverse proxy or WAF - noting the trade-off that overly broad filtering of application/widget fetch endpoints may break legitimate YouTrack app or widget functionality. Monitor access logs for anomalous requests to the fetchApp endpoint. No exact interim workaround is documented by the vendor, so upgrading to 2026.1.13162 remains the definitive remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
YouTrack is JetBrains' web-based issue-tracking and project-management server, commonly deployed by development teams for bug tracking, agile boards, and knowledge bases. The vulnerability resides in the handling of 'fetchApp' requests - an endpoint associated with YouTrack's application/widget fetching mechanism - which improperly returns or exposes data that should remain confidential. The root cause is classified as CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data), meaning the server transmits sensitive information within a response where it should not be present, allowing an attacker who can reach the endpoint to read data they are not authorized to see. The affected component is identified generically in CPE as cpe:2.3:a:jetbrains:youtrack, covering all versions prior to the fixed build 2026.1.13162.

Executive ViewAI
JetBrains YouTrack versions prior to 2026.1.13162 contain an unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability allowing unauthorized remote access to sensitive project data without user interaction. Any organization using YouTrack to store business-critical information faces direct risk of data exposure. Patching to version 2026.1.13162 or later is required to close this access vector.
