CVE-2024-27199

HIGH CISA KEV EXPLOIT Pub 04/03 Upd 21/04

Overview

This vulnerability is a path traversal flaw in JetBrains TeamCity prior to version 2023.11.4. The root cause lies in insufficient validation of file path inputs within the administrative interface, allowing crafted requests to manipulate file system paths. The affected component is the TeamCity server's administrative functionality handling file or resource path parameters, enabling unauthorized directory access beyond intended boundaries.

Vulnerability Description

In JetBrains TeamCity before 2023.11.4 path traversal allowing to perform limited admin actions was possible

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform limited administrative actions by accessing or modifying files outside the intended directory scope. This enables unauthorized access to sensitive configuration files and potentially alters server behavior. The attack requires no user interaction or credentials, increasing the risk of mass exploitation. Consequences include unauthorized data exposure, manipulation of server settings, and potential foothold establishment within the affected TeamCity environment, impacting business continuity and data integrity.

Solution

JetBrains has addressed this vulnerability in TeamCity version 2023.11.4. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the issue. Detailed patch instructions and updates are available on the JetBrains security advisory page at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. No specific workarounds are recommended beyond applying the official update promptly.

Full Analysis

The vulnerability in JetBrains TeamCity, a widely used continuous integration and deployment server, stems from a path traversal flaw that allows unauthorized access to sensitive files and the execution of limited administrative actions. Path traversal vulnerabilities occur when an application improperly sanitizes user input, enabling attackers to manipulate file paths and access files outside the intended directory structure. In this case, the flaw permits attackers to craft requests that traverse the file system, potentially exposing configuration files, logs, or other sensitive data that could be leveraged for further exploitation.

Attack vectors for this vulnerability can vary, but the most straightforward method involves sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the TeamCity server. An attacker could exploit this flaw by including directory traversal sequences (such as "../") in the request parameters, allowing them to navigate the file system and access restricted files. Once an attacker gains access to sensitive information, they could perform limited administrative actions, such as modifying build configurations or accessing user credentials, thereby escalating their privileges within the application. This exploitation can be particularly damaging in environments where TeamCity is integrated with other critical systems, as it may lead to a cascade of security breaches.

The real-world impact of this vulnerability is significant, especially for organizations relying on TeamCity for their software development lifecycle. The potential for unauthorized access to sensitive configurations and credentials poses a serious business risk, as it could lead to data breaches, intellectual property theft, or the compromise of production systems. Furthermore, the ability to perform limited administrative actions could allow attackers to manipulate build processes, introduce malicious code, or disrupt development workflows, ultimately affecting the integrity and availability of software products. Organizations that fail to address this vulnerability may face regulatory scrutiny, reputational damage, and financial losses due to remediation efforts and potential legal liabilities.

To detect and mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should implement a multi-layered security approach. Regularly updating TeamCity to the latest version is crucial, as updates often include security patches that address known vulnerabilities. Additionally, organizations should employ web application firewalls (WAFs) to monitor and filter incoming traffic, specifically looking for patterns indicative of path traversal attempts. Conducting regular security assessments, including penetration testing and code reviews, can help identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Furthermore, implementing strict access controls and ensuring that only authorized personnel can perform administrative actions can limit the potential impact of any successful exploitation.

In conclusion, the path traversal vulnerability in JetBrains TeamCity presents a serious threat to organizations utilizing this platform for continuous integration and deployment. The ability for attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive files and perform limited administrative actions can lead to significant security breaches and operational disruptions. By adopting proactive detection and mitigation strategies, organizations can safeguard their development environments and reduce the risk associated with this vulnerability, ensuring the integrity and security of their software development processes.



CSURFACE threat intelligence has identified a marked escalation in activity related to CVE-2024-27199, with a notable surge in exploitation attempts and the emergence of a new Metasploit module that significantly lowers the barrier for attackers. This development is compounded by the vulnerability’s recent inclusion in the CISA KEV catalog, signaling increased recognition of its criticality by federal cybersecurity authorities. Our telemetry indicates that the exploitability has shifted from theoretical to practical, as evidenced by the high EPSS score reflecting a substantial likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The availability of a Metasploit module enables unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication, create administrative tokens, and deploy malicious plugins to achieve remote code execution, broadening the attack surface considerably. This evolution elevates the threat level from a moderate concern to a high-risk vulnerability, demanding heightened vigilance from defenders. The rapid expansion of the exploit landscape underscores the urgency for organizations to monitor for indicators of compromise and reassess their exposure, as the potential for unauthorized administrative control and subsequent system compromise has materially increased.


Update 2 — May 16, 2026

CSURFACE threat intelligence has detected a marked escalation in exploitation attempts targeting CVE-2024-27199, with telemetry indicating a near doubling in observed activity. This surge coincides with the recent inclusion of this vulnerability in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, highlighting its growing prominence in the threat landscape. Although the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) score has slightly declined, the overall exploitation trend remains elevated, underscoring sustained attacker interest. Notably, the availability of a Metasploit module that facilitates unauthenticated remote code execution via administrative token creation and plugin deployment has lowered the barrier for adversaries, including ransomware operators known to leverage this flaw. This development significantly amplifies the risk profile, as it enables attackers to gain persistent administrative access and execute arbitrary code without prior authentication. Consequently, the threat level associated with CVE-2024-27199 has intensified from high to critical, necessitating heightened monitoring and rapid response to emerging indicators of compromise within affected environments.


Update 3 — July 07, 2026

CSURFACE threat intelligence has detected a notable surge in exploitation attempts targeting CVE-2024-27199, reflecting increased adversary interest and operational activity. This uptick corresponds with the continued availability and refinement of Metasploit modules that facilitate unauthenticated administrative token creation and plugin deployment, lowering the technical barriers for attackers. Our telemetry indicates that ransomware-affiliated threat actors are actively leveraging this vulnerability to establish persistent footholds and execute arbitrary code within compromised TeamCity environments. Although the EPSS score remains near maximum and stable, the qualitative increase in exploitation attempts underscores a growing momentum that could precipitate more widespread impact. Consequently, the threat level associated with CVE-2024-27199 should be considered critical, as the evolving exploitation landscape amplifies the risk of severe operational disruption and data compromise for affected organizations.
