Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-50575 is a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) affecting the Widget API in JetBrains YouTrack versions prior to 2024.3.47707. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4 and permits an attacker to supply crafted input that is reflected back and executed in the context of another user's session.
An authenticated user with network access can exploit the issue without user interaction to read limited data or perform actions within the victim's YouTrack session. Because the vulnerability is reflected rather than stored, the attack requires the victim to interact with a maliciously constructed URL or widget request.
The single reference points to JetBrains' consolidated security advisory page, which lists the corrected build 2024.3.47707 as the resolution for this reflected XSS vector in the Widget API.
EPSS remains flat at 0.0787 with no material increase after disclosure.
