Technical details

A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in JetBrains TeamCity allowed authenticated users with low-level privileges to modify build pipelines. The flaw stems from improper permission checks within the pipeline management component. An attacker with network access and valid credentials could exploit this to alter build configurations, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution or data exfiltration during the CI/CD process. The vulnerability is addressed in TeamCity version 2026.1.2.
