JetBrains warns of critical TeamCity remote code execution flaw
JetBrains warns of critical TeamCity RCE flaw CVE-2026-63077, affecting On-Premises versions.
JetBrains has issued a warning about a critical authentication bypass vulnerability, CVE-2026-63077, affecting all TeamCity On-Premises versions. This flaw allows attackers with HTTPS access to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands with server process privileges. While TeamCity Cloud is unaffected, on-premises users are urged to upgrade to versions 2025.11.7 or 2026.1.3, or apply a security patch plugin for older versions.

The lesson from this incident
Full lessonA critical authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-63077) in JetBrains TeamCity On-Premises allows any attacker with HTTPS access to circumvent authentication entirely and execute arbitrary commands with server-level privileges — no credentials required. This is especially dangerous because TeamCity is a CI/CD platform, meaning a compromised server can be weaponized to inject malicious code into build pipelines and software supply chains. The root cause reflects a failure in secure authentication design combined with delayed patching exposure for on-premises users. Organizations running unpatched versions remain fully exposed until upgrades or plugin patches are applied, highlighting the critical importance of rapid response to vendor security advisories.
