Cross-organization project transfer via missing authorization
Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026
Improper access control in JetBrains YouTrack before 2026.2.17917 allows remote authenticated users to move projects across organizations. JetBrains' public records identify the issue as unauthorized project transfer between organizations and map it to CWE-862, but they do not disclose which endpoint, workflow step, or permission check failed to enforce organization ownership during a transfer. Low-privileged authenticated access is required, and the published impact is limited to unauthorized reassignment and exposure of project data across organizational boundaries rather than service interruption.
