AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Unauthenticated network endpoint (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N) with low complexity leaking private data yields C:H; no write or availability impact, so I:N/A:N and scope unchanged.

In JetBrains YouTrack before 2026.2.16593 improper access control allowed reading users' private data via the comment templates endpoint
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in JetBrains YouTrack before 2026.2.16593 allows remote attackers to read other users' private data through a missing authorization check on the comment templates endpoint. The flaw is unauthenticated and network-reachable per the CVSS vector (PR:N), exposing confidential information without any user interaction. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to a YouTrack instance prior to 2026.2.16593 and the ability to invoke the comment templates endpoint; the CVSS vector indicates no authentication (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and low complexity (AV:N/AC:L), so the bug is reachable against affected default deployments that are network-exposed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are largely consistent and point to a moderate, confidentiality-only issue rather than a top-priority emergency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach a YouTrack instance over the network sends a crafted request to the comment templates endpoint and receives private data belonging to other users without needing valid credentials for those accounts. No public proof-of-concept is identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) means a working request would be straightforward to reproduce once the endpoint behavior is understood. |
| Remediation | Upgrade YouTrack to version 2026.2.16593 or later, which is the vendor-released patch that fixes the missing authorization check (Vendor-released patch: 2026.2.16593); JetBrains-hosted (InCloud) instances are typically updated automatically, while self-managed servers must be upgraded manually. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
