CVE-2024-54154Network attack vector

System takeover via plugin-sandbox path traversal

Published Dec 4, 2024 · Updated Dec 4, 2024

Path traversal in the plugin sandbox in JetBrains YouTrack before 2024.3.51866 allows remote authenticated users to take over the system. JetBrains identifies the plugin sandbox as the affected locus but has not published the file operation or pathname validation error that permits traversal. Successful exploitation requires low-privileged access and user interaction and grants control over application data and service operation.
