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 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in JetBrains Hub where attackers could attach authentication details to accounts, allowing them to gain elevated privileges beyond what their account should normally permit. The flaw exists in the account management/authorization logic prior to the patched versions.

-
Identify JetBrains Hub installationLocate the Hub installation directory and check for version information. This is typically visible in the Hub admin dashboard under 'About' or 'System Info', or check the hub installation logs or version file in the installation directory.Affected if The Hub version falls within any of the affected ranges: 2024.2.33606 to 2024.2.148428, 2024.3.44799 to 2024.3.148429, 2025.1.62455 to 2025.1.148119, 2025.2.86069 to 2025.2.148047, 2025.3.104432 to 2025.3.148032, or 2026.1.12024 to 2026.1.13756.
-
Determine if account management interface is accessibleVerify that the Hub instance has user management or account administration features enabled and accessible. This includes checking if the '/admin/users' or similar account management endpoints are available.Affected if The account management or user administration interface is exposed and the installed version is within the affected ranges.
-
Check authorization configurationReview the Hub authorization and authentication settings to confirm that non-admin users can potentially modify or attach authentication details to accounts.Affected if The authorization configuration allows regular users or unprivileged accounts to access account management functions, and the version is affected.
You are affected if your installed JetBrains Hub version matches any of the vulnerable version ranges and the account management/authorization features are accessible in your environment.
