CVE-2021-37546Network attack vector

Encrypted-property disclosure via insecure key generation

Published Aug 6, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Cryptographic weakness in JetBrains TeamCity before 2021.1 allows remote attackers to disclose encrypted property values. JetBrains has not published the key-generation algorithm, entropy source, affected code locus, or the operation that makes generated keys insecure. The public record establishes remote, unauthenticated exposure and limits the documented consequence to loss of confidentiality for encrypted properties.
