CVE-2024-29880

Local privilege escalation to agent account

Published Mar 21, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Privilege escalation in JetBrains TeamCity before 2023.11 allows local users to gain the build agent process user’s permissions. JetBrains identifies the affected locus only as the agent machine and has not disclosed which exposed method or function fails to restrict access. Access to the agent machine is required, and successful exploitation grants the authority assigned to the agent service account over its files and build resources.
