info:
  name: JetBrains TeamCity < 2023.05.4 - Remote Code Execution
  author: iamnoooob,rootxharsh,pdresearch
  severity: critical
  description: |
    In JetBrains TeamCity before 2023.05.4 authentication bypass leading to RCE on TeamCity Server was possible
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication by creating admin tokens to gain full administrative access to TeamCity Server, potentially executing arbitrary code and compromising the entire CI/CD infrastructure and source code.
  remediation: |
    Update JetBrains TeamCity to version 2023.05.4 or later that properly validates authentication and prevents token creation through unauthenticated requests.
