Technical details

The vulnerability is an authentication bypass in YouTrack's backup download functionality, exploitable through a weakness in shared draft signature validation. An unauthenticated attacker can craft requests using the shared draft signature mechanism to download database backups without providing valid credentials or authentication tokens. The attack requires network access to the YouTrack instance and no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows complete unauthorized access to database backups containing all stored data. The vulnerability is fixed in YouTrack versions 2025.3.156085, 2026.1.13913, and 2026.2.18112 or later.
