In JetBrains YouTrack before 2026.2.16593 improper access control allowed reading saved queries and tags
AnalysisAI
Improper access control in JetBrains YouTrack before version 2026.2.16593 permits authenticated low-privileged users to read saved queries and tags outside their authorized scope. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks (CWE-862), meaning the application fails to verify whether the requesting user holds the required permissions before serving these resources over the network. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an active, authenticated YouTrack session with at least low-level privileges (PR:L per CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects the limited blast radius: AV:N means the vulnerability is remotely reachable, AC:L indicates no special conditions, but PR:L confirms authentication is required, and the impact is confined to confidentiality at a low level (C:L/I:N/A:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated YouTrack user with minimal privileges - such as a contractor or a user with read-only project access - crafts a request to the YouTrack API endpoint responsible for listing saved queries or tags. Due to the missing authorization check, the server returns saved queries or tags belonging to other users or restricted projects, potentially revealing sensitive issue filters, internal project naming conventions, or confidential tag taxonomies. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade JetBrains YouTrack to build 2026.2.16593 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch for this issue. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
