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
In JetBrains YouTrack before 2024.3.46677 improper access control allowed users with project update permission to delete applications via API

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 · high confidence

In JetBrains YouTrack before version 2024.3.46677, improper access control allowed users with only project update permission to delete applications via the API, bypassing intended authorization boundaries where application deletion should require elevated privileges.

MitigationUpgrade YouTrack to version 2024.3.46677 or later. In the interim, audit API permissions and restrict API access to trusted users only.

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 YouTrack version
    Access the YouTrack administration dashboard and navigate to 'About' section, or use the /api/admin/about endpoint to retrieve the version number
    Affected if version is earlier than 2024.3.46677 (e.g., 2024.2.x, 2024.1.x, earlier)

You are affected if your YouTrack installation is version earlier than 2024.3.46677 and users with project-level update permissions can access the REST API.
