Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
JetBrains TeamCity before 2021.2.1 was vulnerable to stored XSS.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

JetBrains TeamCity before version 2021.2.1 contained a stored XSS vulnerability that allowed authenticated users to inject malicious scripts into application fields, which would then be executed in the browsers of other users viewing that content.

MitigationUpgrade TeamCity to version 2021.2.1 or later to patch the stored XSS vulnerability.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Determine installed TeamCity version
    Access the TeamCity web interface and check the version number displayed in the footer of any page, or navigate to Administration > Global Settings to view the version information
    Affected if The displayed version is any build before 2021.2.1 (e.g., 2021.2.0, 2021.1.x, 2020.x.x, or earlier)
  2. Confirm version from startup logs
    Examine the TeamCity server startup logs (typically found in <TeamCity_HOME>/logs/ directory) for a line containing 'TeamCity version' or similar version identifier
    Affected if The logged version indicates a build number lower than 2021.2.1
  3. Verify TeamCity authentication is enabled
    Check that the TeamCity server has user authentication enabled and is accessible to authenticated users (not in read-only mode or completely locked down)
    Affected if Users can log in to TeamCity with valid credentials
  4. Confirm user-accessible input fields exist
    Identify any active TeamCity fields where authenticated users can submit or modify data, such as project descriptions, build configurations, user profiles, or VCS commit messages displayed in the UI
    Affected if Any application fields accept user input that is rendered and displayed to other users in the web interface

If the installed TeamCity version is any release before 2021.2.1 and the server is accessible to authenticated users with input fields, the environment is vulnerable to stored XSS via CVE-2022-24339.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2021.2.1 or later
Fixed in 2021.2.1
Interim mitigation

Upgrade TeamCity to version 2021.2.1 or later to patch the stored XSS vulnerability.

Recommended fix High confidence

TeamCity 2021.2.1

  1. Confirm current TeamCity version is below 2021.2.1 by checking the server UI or using the /app/rest/server/version endpoint
  2. Review the official JetBrains TeamCity upgrade documentation at https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/upgrade.html
  3. Create a complete backup of the TeamCity data directory, database, and configuration files
  4. Stop the TeamCity server
  5. Install TeamCity version 2021.2.1 or later
  6. Start the TeamCity server and verify all services are running
  7. Test that the stored XSS vulnerability is no longer present by verifying user input is properly sanitized
