Latest JetBrains TeamCity vulnerability: CVE-2026-63077 #

JetBrains disclosed that certain versions of TeamCity On-Premises are affected by a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability exploitable via the server's agent polling protocol. Successful exploitation allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker with HTTP(S) access to bypass authentication checks and execute arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the TeamCity server process. Depending on the service account's permission level, successful compromise enables the attacker to steal sensitive credentials and configurations or alter build outputs, threatening the integrity of build artifacts and downstream CI/CD workflows. The vulnerability has been designated CVE-2026-63077 and has been rated critical with a CVSS score of 9.8.

The following versions are affected

  • TeamCity: All On-Premises versions prior to 2026.1.3 and 2025.11.7.

    What is JetBrains TeamCity? #

    JetBrains TeamCity is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) server that automates the building, testing, and deployment of software applications across distributed build environments.

    What is the impact? #

    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability would allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to gain full control over the TeamCity server, enabling them to steal sensitive organizational credentials and compromise the security and integrity of downstream software build pipelines.

    Are any updates or workarounds available? #

    Users are encouraged to update to the latest version as quickly as possible:

    • TeamCity 2026.x: Upgrade to version 2026.1.3 or later.
    • TeamCity 2025.x: Upgrade to version 2025.11.7 or later.
    • TeamCity 2024.12.x through 2017.1.x: Apply the official security patch plugin, or upgrade to a supported, fixed release (2026.1.3 or 2025.11.7).
    • All older, unsupported product versions: Upgrade to a supported, fixed release (2026.1.3 or 2025.11.7).
