CVE-2025-64685
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 · uneditedIn JetBrains YouTrack before 2025.3.104432 missing TLS certificate validation enabled data disclosure
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 confidenceThis vulnerability in JetBrains YouTrack versions prior to 2025.3.104432 involves missing TLS certificate validation, which allows an attacker to perform man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks and intercept sensitive data in transit. The lack of proper certificate verification means the application can be tricked into trusting malicious servers, exposing communications.

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.
-
Locate YouTrack installation directoryCheck common installation paths: on Windows look in C:\Program Files\JetBrains\YouTrack or C:\YouTrack, on Linux/Unix check /opt/youtrack or /usr/local/youtrack, or look for the youtrack startup script/serviceAffected if YouTrack is not found in expected locations - it may not be installed or may be in a custom location
-
Identify installed YouTrack versionCheck the version file or startup output. On Linux/Unix, run: ./youtrack.sh --version or check <install_dir>/logs for version info. On Windows, check the service properties or look for version.txt in the installation directoryAffected if The displayed version number is lower than 2025.3.104432 (for example 2025.3.90000, 2024.x.x, etc.)
-
Confirm version is in vulnerable rangeCompare your identified version against the affected range: any version prior to 2025.3.104432 is vulnerable. Versions 2025.3.104432 and later are patchedAffected if Your version is < 2025.3.104432 - the application is vulnerable to MITM attacks due to missing TLS certificate validation
-
Assess network exposure contextConsider whether YouTrack is accessed over networks you do not fully control (public WiFi, shared networks, internet-facing deployments). The vulnerability allows attackers on the same network to intercept HTTPS trafficAffected if YouTrack is used over untrusted networks and the version is below 2025.3.104432 - interception of sensitive data in transit is possible
You are affected if YouTrack version is installed and the version is lower than 2025.3.104432, regardless of configuration, because the TLS certificate validation flaw exists in the application code itself.

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 · scoped2025.3.104432
Upgrade YouTrack to version 2025.3.104432 or later which implements proper TLS certificate validation. Until upgraded, avoid using YouTrack over untrusted networks.
YouTrack 2025.3.104432 or later
- Backup your YouTrack database and configuration files before upgrading
- Download YouTrack version 2025.3.104432 or later from the official JetBrains website (www.jetbrains.com/youtrack)
- Stop the YouTrack service
- Install the new version following JetBrains upgrade documentation
- Restart the YouTrack service
- Verify the upgrade was successful and TLS certificate validation is now functioning properly
