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 2024.3.47707 stored XSS was possible via Angular template injection in Hub settings

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

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in JetBrains YouTrack versions prior to 2024.3.47707 allows attackers to inject malicious code via Angular template injection in Hub settings. The injected payload persists in the application and executes when administrators view the affected Hub settings pages.

MitigationUpgrade YouTrack to version 2024.3.47707 or later to patch the Angular template injection vulnerability. Until patching is feasible, limit access to Hub settings to trusted administrators only and audit user activity.

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. Identify installed YouTrack version
    Access the YouTrack administration interface and navigate to About (typically under Administration > System > About) or check the version via the /api/version endpoint if accessible. Compare this version number to 2024.3.47707.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 2024.3.47707 (for example, 2024.2.45890 or any 2024.x version prior to 2024.3.47707).
  2. Verify Hub settings accessibility
    Log into YouTrack as an administrator and confirm access to Hub settings (Administration > Hub > Settings). The vulnerability exists in Hub settings pages, so these must be reachable.
    Affected if You are running an affected version AND have access to Hub settings as an administrator or privileged user.
  3. Inspect Hub settings for suspicious content
    Review all configurable fields in Hub settings pages (such as user profile fields, custom fields, or setting inputs) for any unexpected or encoded content that resembles HTML, JavaScript, or Angular template syntax (such as {{, ng-app, or script tags).
    Affected if Any such suspicious payload is found stored in Hub settings configuration fields.

You are affected if your YouTrack version is below 2024.3.47707 and you have administrators accessing Hub settings, particularly if unknown or malicious content is found in Hub settings fields.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2024.3.47707 or later
Fixed in 2024.3.47707
Interim mitigation

Upgrade YouTrack to version 2024.3.47707 or later to patch the Angular template injection vulnerability. Until patching is feasible, limit access to Hub settings to trusted administrators only and audit user activity.

Recommended fix High confidence

YouTrack 2024.3.47707 or later

  1. Back up your YouTrack database and configuration files before upgrading
  2. Download YouTrack version 2024.3.47707 or later from the official JetBrains website (www.jetbrains.com/youtrack/download)
  3. Stop the YouTrack service
  4. Run the installation/upgrade following JetBrains standard upgrade procedures
  5. Start the YouTrack service
  6. Verify the upgrade was successful and the XSS vulnerability is resolved by checking that Angular template injection in Hub settings is no longer possible
