AI Analysis

Impact

A stored cross‑site scripting flaw exists in the workflow error notification toast of JetBrains YouTrack prior to 2026.2.19197. Malicious content can be persisted in the notification, allowing it to execute arbitrary JavaScript when a user views the error toast. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or other client‑side attacks against users who have permissions to view the notification.

Affected Systems

JetBrains YouTrack versions earlier than 2026.2.19197 are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity. Exploitation is likely to require an attacker to inject the payload through a workflow that triggers an error notification, meaning the attacker needs sufficient privileges to create or modify that workflow. No current evidence of active exploitation is recorded, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade JetBrains YouTrack to version 2026.2.19197 or newer.
  • Restrict creation and editing of workflows to trusted users only to reduce the attack surface.
  • Ensure any custom error notification content is properly encoded to prevent malicious scripts from rendering.
