Summary

JetBrains YouTrack before 2026.2.19562 has a missing authorization check (CWE-862) that lets a user with the Project Admin role manage VCS hosting server configurations. A Project Admin can change these settings even though they should not be allowed to. The CVSS vector requires high privileges and no user interaction over the network, and it rates the impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability as low.
