CVE-2026-123332 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.7 · Published 2026-11-06

YouTrack is JetBrains' project management and issue tracking system used by development teams. A missing authorization check allowed Project Admins to manage version control system (VCS) hosting server configurations beyond their intended scope. This could allow a Project Admin to modify VCS integrations in ways they should not be permitted to do, potentially compromising source code repository access controls.
