Attack Vector Breakdown
- Attack Vector: Network
- Attack Complexity: Low
- Privileges Required: None
- User Interaction: None
- Scope: Unchanged
- Confidentiality: Low
- Integrity: Low
- Availability: Low
Impact Analysis
This vulnerability is exploitable over the network, meaning any system reachable via the internet or internal network is potentially at risk without physical access. The attack complexity is low, requires no special privileges, and needs no user interaction — making it straightforward to exploit at scale.
Exploitation Probability (EPSS): 90.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (100th percentile). This places the vulnerability in the highest risk tier — immediate action is critical.
Exploit Availability
Public exploit code or proof-of-concept is available for CVE-2024-27199. This significantly increases the risk of exploitation, as attackers can use or adapt existing exploit code rather than developing their own. A public exploit reference has been identified. Organizations should treat this as an urgent patching priority.
Is CVE-2024-27199 being exploited?
Yes. CVE-2024-27199 is listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, restricted to CVEs with confirmed active exploitation in the wild. CISA added this vulnerability on 2026-04-20. Inclusion in KEV triggers the patching mandate under BOD 22-01 for U.S. federal civilian agencies, with a remediation deadline of 2026-05-04. Additionally, public exploit code is available, which lowers the barrier for attackers.
How to fix CVE-2024-27199
Apply the security update issued by JetBrains for TeamCity. If an immediate patch is not possible, consult the vendor advisory for mitigation guidance, restrict network exposure of the affected service, and monitor logs for indicators of exploitation. CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog requires U.S. federal agencies to remediate this vulnerability by the due date shown below under Binding Operational Directive 22-01. Private organizations should treat KEV entries as priority-one patches because active exploitation has been confirmed in the wild.
