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 versionLocate the YouTrack installation and check its version number. In the web interface, this is typically found in the Administration > Diagnostics or Help > About section. If installed on-premise, check the version file in the installation directory or the product release notes.Affected if The installed version is lower than 2024.3.44799 (e.g., 2024.2.x, 2024.1.x, earlier versions).
-
Verify user role configurationIn YouTrack Administration, navigate to the Users and Roles section. Review which users or groups are assigned roles that provide access to global configuration settings.Affected if Users without administrative privileges are assigned roles that grant access to global application configuration data.
-
Review audit logs for configuration accessAccess YouTrack's audit log or activity log feature. Look for records of global configuration data access (such as system settings, integrations, or project configuration templates) performed by users who should not have such permissions.Affected if Audit logs show configuration data access by users lacking administrative or proper authorization roles.
-
Check global configuration API exposureIf YouTrack's REST API is accessible, examine which API endpoints related to global configuration (such as /api/admin/* or /api/globalSettings/*) are accessible to non-administrative users or unauthenticated requests.Affected if Non-administrative users can successfully query endpoints that return global application configuration data.
You are affected if your YouTrack installation version is below 2024.3.44799 and unauthorized users can access or retrieve global application configuration data without proper permissions.

Upgrade YouTrack to version 2024.3.44799 or later to enforce proper authorization controls on global configuration data access.
YouTrack 2024.3.44799 or later
- Ensure you have a complete backup of your YouTrack database and configuration files before upgrading
- Download YouTrack 2024.3.44799 or later from the official JetBrains website (https://www.jetbrains.com/youtrack/download/)
- Stop the YouTrack service running on your server
- Extract the new version to your installation directory, or use the in-place upgrade if supported
- Restart the YouTrack service
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the YouTrack version in Administration > Troubleshooting > System Info
- Confirm that the authorization vulnerability is resolved by testing that users without proper permissions cannot access global app config data
