Description
CVE-2024-27198 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in JetBrains TeamCity versions prior to 2023.11.4. This flaw, classified under CWE-288, allows unauthenticated attackers to perform administrative actions without proper authorization. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8, indicating a severe risk with network attack vector, no required privileges or user interaction, and full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the potential for abuse is significant given TeamCity’s role in continuous integration and deployment pipelines. Organizations using affected TeamCity versions should prioritize patching to prevent unauthorized access and potential compromise of build environments. Countries with substantial use of JetBrains TeamCity and strong software development sectors are at higher risk.
