MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated YouTrack account with permission to modify an existing integration's configuration URL (the CVSS PR:L indicates low but non-zero privileges - not anonymous access). Exploitation is triggered by editing the integration's URL to point at an attacker-controlled endpoint, after which YouTrack discloses the integration's stored credentials by sending them to that URL. Limiting factors: only environments that grant lower-trust users the ability to edit integration settings are meaningfully at risk; instances where integration configuration is restricted to trusted administrators face reduced exposure. No end-user interaction (UI:N) beyond the attacker's own action is needed, and only versions before 2026.2.19197 are affected. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, low-privilege flaw with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effect - consistent with a credential-disclosure bug rather than a code-execution or takeover issue. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, POC, or SSVC decision data was supplied, so all exploitation-likelihood signals are absent; on available evidence this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The vulnerability was self-reported by the vendor (JetBrains) and a patch is available, which typically indicates coordinated disclosure without observed in-the-wild abuse. One signal worth flagging: the assigned CWE-918 (SSRF) and the 'SSRF' tag describe the delivery mechanism (redirecting an integration's outbound request to an attacker endpoint), but the actual, primary impact is credential exposure (closer to CWE-522) - the C:H/I:N/A:N vector reflects disclosure, not classic internal-network SSRF pivoting, so treat the SSRF framing as mechanism-only. Realistic priority is low-to-medium: exploitation requires an existing authenticated foothold able to edit an integration's URL, limiting blast radius to environments where lower-trust users can reach integration configuration. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated YouTrack user with permission to edit an integration's configuration changes the integration's target URL to an attacker-controlled server. When YouTrack next connects using that integration, it transmits the stored credentials to the attacker's endpoint, disclosing them in the request. No public exploit code is identified, and no user interaction beyond the attacker's own configuration change is required. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
Credential disclosure in JetBrains YouTrack before 2026.2.19197 lets an authenticated user who can edit an existing integration's configuration URL redirect the integration's stored credentials to an attacker-controlled endpoint by simply changing that URL. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity, low-privilege flaw with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effect, consistent with a credential-theft bug rather than code execution or full takeover; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no exploitation status is confirmed by CISA KEV for this CVE.
RemediationAI
Upgrade YouTrack to 2026.2.19197 or later; this is the vendor-released patch, and the JetBrains security fixes page (https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/) is the authoritative source for the version mapping. Because the vulnerability causes stored integration credentials to be disclosed, treat any integration whose URL was modified before patching as compromised: rotate or revoke the affected API tokens, webhook secrets, and service accounts, and review outbound connection logs from the YouTrack host for unexpected destinations. As a compensating control for instances that cannot be patched immediately, restrict the permission that allows editing integration configuration to a small set of trusted administrators - this directly removes the PR:L precondition, though it degrades self-service administration for project or integration owners - and, where feasible, constrain YouTrack's outbound egress with firewall or proxy allowlists limited to known integration endpoints, accepting that this will break legitimate integrations pointing to unlisted hosts. No vendor-issued workaround short of upgrading fully eliminates the credential-exposure path.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is classified as CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), which in this context manifests as an outbound-request/credential-leak weakness in YouTrack's integration subsystem. YouTrack integrations typically persist secrets (API tokens, webhook signing keys, or service credentials) that the server uses when it makes outbound calls to a configured destination URL. Because the application did not adequately constrain or re-validate the destination when an integration's URL was modified, changing the URL caused the server to transmit the previously stored credentials to whatever host the URL pointed at. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:jetbrains:youtrack:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and by EUVD-2026-90023, which lists affected versions as YouTrack 0 through versions earlier than 2026.2.19197. The CVSS vector's PR:L confirms the attacker must hold a low-privileged authenticated account with permission to modify integration settings, and UI:N confirms no victim interaction is required beyond the attacker's own configuration change.
