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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify YouTrack version via admin interfaceLog in to YouTrack as an administrator, navigate to Administration > System > Overview, and locate the YouTrack version number displayed on that page.Affected if The displayed version is earlier than 2024.2.34646
-
Identify YouTrack version via command lineIf you have direct server access, locate the youtrack.jar or service installation directory and check the version metadata, typically visible in the startup logs or by querying the service version flag.Affected if The version returned is earlier than 2024.2.34646
-
Check version from backup or deployment filesExamine the YouTrack distribution package, Docker image tag, or deployment configuration files (such as docker-compose.yml, Helm values, or installation scripts) to determine the deployed version.Affected if The packaged or deployed version is earlier than 2024.2.34646
The environment is affected if the deployed YouTrack version is lower than 2024.2.34646, as only versions at or above this threshold prevent user access tokens from being transmitted to third-party sites.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2024.2.34646
