MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The SAML authentication plugin must be enabled and actively configured in the TeamCity instance - this is a non-default plugin requiring deliberate administrator setup for federated identity. Exploitation further requires user interaction (UI:R): the victim must click a crafted link and proceed through the SAML authentication flow. Attack complexity is rated High (AC:H), indicating that successful exploitation requires specific, non-trivial conditions such as precise SAML parameter manipulation tied to the target deployment's IdP configuration. Authentication is not required of the attacker (PR:N) since the redirect manipulation occurs within the unauthenticated SAML initiation phase. Limiting factors include: SAML plugin must be enabled, victim must interact with a crafted URL, and the attack is inherently targeted rather than opportunistic. |
| Impact | The aggregate risk signal here is consistently low. The CVSS 3.1 score of 3.1 reflects AV:N (network reachable) but is substantially dampened by AC:H (high attack complexity), UI:R (requires victim interaction), and impact limited solely to I:L (low integrity - no confidentiality or availability impact). There is no EPSS score provided in the source data, no CISA KEV listing, and no known public proof-of-concept. The practical attack requires an adversary to craft a precisely manipulated SAML redirect, deliver it to a specific TeamCity user who must then interact with it, making mass exploitation implausible. This is not a high-urgency patch from a risk-prioritization standpoint, but organizations with SAML SSO enabled and internet-facing TeamCity instances should still remediate given the trivial patch path. No conflicting signals exist between the CVSS vector and the description - both align with a limited-scope, user-dependent, phishing-class vulnerability. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker targeting a specific organization's TeamCity deployment crafts a SAML authentication URL that encodes a redirect to an attacker-controlled phishing site, exploiting insufficient URL validation in the SAML plugin. The attacker delivers this link (e.g., via email or chat) to a TeamCity user; upon clicking and completing SAML authentication through the legitimate TeamCity server, the victim is silently forwarded to the malicious site, which may harvest credentials or deliver malware under the guise of a trusted internal redirect. No public proof-of-concept is available at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 29, 2026
Open redirect in JetBrains TeamCity's SAML authentication plugin (all versions before 2026.1) allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to redirect authenticated users to arbitrary external URLs during the SAML login flow. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 3.1 (Low), reflecting high attack complexity and mandatory user interaction - limiting realistic exploitation to targeted phishing scenarios against TeamCity users leveraging SAML SSO. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed.
RemediationAI
Upgrade JetBrains TeamCity to version 2026.1 or later, which is the implied fixed release per the vendor's security advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. Note: the exact patch version is inferred from the vulnerability scope ('before 2026.1') rather than an explicitly stated fixed-version field - verify the specific build number against the JetBrains advisory page. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, a compensating control is to disable the SAML plugin entirely via TeamCity's administration panel (Administration > Authentication) and revert to an alternative authentication method; this fully eliminates the attack surface but will disrupt SSO-dependent users and requires an alternative IdP integration or fallback credential strategy. Additionally, restricting network access to the TeamCity instance to trusted IP ranges reduces exposure for the UI:R interaction step.

Technical ContextAI · show details
TeamCity's SAML plugin implements federated identity via the Security Assertion Markup Language protocol, which inherently involves redirect URLs as part of the authentication handshake (e.g., RelayState or redirect_uri parameters). CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site / 'Open Redirect') identifies the root cause: insufficient validation of redirect target URLs supplied through the SAML flow allows an attacker to supply an external, attacker-controlled destination. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:jetbrains:teamcity:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all TeamCity versions across platforms prior to 2026.1. This class of vulnerability is commonly weaponized in phishing chains to lend legitimacy to malicious links by routing victims through a trusted domain before forwarding them onward.
