Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated YouTrack account with at minimum low-privilege access sufficient to create or edit content that supports Mermaid diagram rendering - such as issues, comments, or wiki pages. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The official CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N and score of 3.5 (Low) accurately characterize this as a constrained-impact vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated YouTrack user with low privileges creates an issue or wiki page embedding a Mermaid diagram block containing injected CSS that overlays a fake login prompt or spoofs a UI element. When a project member or administrator opens the page, the malicious styles render in their browser, potentially tricking them into submitting credentials or clicking a misleading interface element. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade JetBrains YouTrack to version 2026.2.17012 or later, which resolves the CSS injection via Mermaid diagram rendering. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
