Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 23 Jun 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade org.jetbrains.teamcity/teamcity-server to 2025.03.3.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-52877, European organizations should prioritize the following actions: 1) Upgrade TeamCity to version 2025.03.3 or later as soon as the patch is released by JetBrains. Until then, 2) restrict access to the diskUsageBuildsStats page and other sensitive TeamCity interfaces to trusted users only, ideally via network segmentation or VPN access. 3) Implement strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the impact of potential XSS attacks by limiting the execution of inline scripts and untrusted sources. 4) Educate privileged users about the risks of clicking on untrusted links, especially those that could lead to TeamCity pages. 5) Monitor TeamCity logs and user activity for unusual access patterns or attempts to inject scripts. 6) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block reflected XSS payloads targeting TeamCity endpoints. 7) Review and harden authentication and session management controls to minimize the risk of session hijacking. 8) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on the CI/CD pipeline to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities proactively.

Description

In JetBrains TeamCity before 2025.03.3 reflected XSS on diskUsageBuildsStats page was possible

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, especially for enterprises relying heavily on TeamCity for their DevOps and continuous integration workflows. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive build information, manipulation of build statistics, or session hijacking of privileged users, potentially undermining the integrity of the software development lifecycle. This could result in the insertion of malicious code into builds or unauthorized access to internal development resources. While the vulnerability does not directly affect system availability, the compromise of build environments can have downstream effects on software quality and trustworthiness. Organizations in regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure may face compliance risks if build integrity is compromised. Additionally, the requirement for high privileges and user interaction limits the attack surface but also means that insider threats or targeted spear-phishing campaigns could exploit this vulnerability effectively. The reflected XSS could also be used as a stepping stone for social engineering attacks within the organization.
