Summary

CVE-2025-67742 is a low-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Jetbrains Teamcity. Its CVSS base score is 3.8 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 50th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

In JetBrains TeamCity before 2025.11 path traversal was possible via file upload

CWE(s)

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer Command And Control
Adversaries may transfer tools or other files from an external system into a compromised environment.
T1505.003 Web Shell Persistence
Adversaries may backdoor web servers with web shells to establish persistent access to systems.
Why these techniques?

Path traversal via file upload in public-facing TeamCity enables initial exploitation (T1190), arbitrary file write/transfer (T1105), and web shell deployment (T1505.003).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires validation of all input (including uploaded filenames/paths) to reject traversal sequences before they reach the filesystem.

prevent

Enforces access-control decisions on file-write operations so that even a traversed path cannot bypass authorization checks on the target directory.

prevent

Restricts the privileges of the TeamCity upload-handling process, limiting the impact of any successful path traversal to only the directories the service is allowed to modify.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

detects

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.

mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
