Critical Code Execution Vulnerability Patched in TeamCity
JetBrains this week rolled out patches for a critical-severity vulnerability in TeamCity On-Premises that can be exploited without authentication.
Tracked as CVE-2026-63077 (CVSS score of 9.8), the security defect can be exploited via HTTP/S to bypass authentication and achieve remote code execution (RCE).
“An unauthenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability via the TeamCity agent polling protocol to bypass authentication checks and execute arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the TeamCity server process,” JetBrains explains in its advisory.
Depending on the available privileges, an attacker could access TeamCity data, configurations, and credentials, could tamper with the server state, and could potentially compromise build artifacts and downstream CI/CD pipelines.
According to JetBrains, the flaw affects all TeamCity On-Premises versions. The company has already rolled out mitigations for TeamCity Cloud instances and has no evidence that the bug has been exploited in the wild.
“A fix for this vulnerability has been introduced in versions 2025.11.7 and 2026.1.3. We have also released a security patch plugin for 2017.1+ so that customers who are unable to upgrade can still patch their environments,” JetBrains announced.
Users are advised to download and install either the latest version of TeamCity or the security patch plugin as soon as possible (the plugin resolves only this CVE, the company notes).
JetBrains also recommends limiting access to internet-facing TeamCity servers, running all servers with the minimum required operating system privileges, and using VPN connections or implementing additional protections to prevent unauthorized access.
“TeamCity servers should also run on dedicated hosts separate from build agents,” the company notes.
