AI-suggested
- Upgrade TeamCity to version 2025.07 or later once patches are released by JetBrains to address this vulnerability.
- Until patches are available, restrict plugin installation permissions strictly to trusted administrators to minimize the risk of malicious plugin unpacking.
- Implement strict file system monitoring and integrity checks on directories used by TeamCity for plugin unpacking to detect unauthorized file modifications.
- Employ application whitelisting and endpoint protection solutions to prevent execution or loading of unauthorized files.
- Enforce the principle of least privilege for users with access to TeamCity servers, limiting elevated privileges only to essential personnel.
- Educate administrators about the risks of social engineering attacks that could lead to user interaction triggering exploitation.
- Consider isolating TeamCity build agents and servers in segmented network zones to reduce lateral movement in case of compromise.
- Regularly audit and review plugin sources and verify digital signatures where applicable to ensure plugin authenticity.
Description
In JetBrains TeamCity before 2025.07 path traversal was possible via plugin unpacking on Windows
