CVE-2024-48902Network attack vector

Application deletion via underprivileged API authorization

Published Oct 10, 2024 · Updated Oct 10, 2024

Improper access control in JetBrains YouTrack before 2024.3.46677 allows remote authenticated users to delete applications through the API. The application-deletion API accepts Update Project permission as sufficient authorization for the deletion operation. An account with that project permission is required, and successful exploitation removes applications and can interrupt their project functionality.
