Account enumeration via missing search authorization
Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 17, 2026
Improper access control in JetBrains YouTrack before 2026.2.18112 allows remote authenticated users to enumerate accounts via user-search requests. JetBrains classifies the flaw as CWE-862, indicating that the users search endpoint does not sufficiently authorize or scope account-search queries before returning matching identities; no deeper code-level locus or patch diff has been published. Any valid account can test for existing usernames and account presence, which supports targeted follow-on activity such as password spraying or phishing, but the published record describes confidentiality impact only.
