Introduction
CVE-2025-58334 lets users of JetBrains IDE Services assign themselves high-privileged roles without authorization, which defeats access controls in affected versions. In development infrastructure, unauthorized privilege escalation like this can disrupt workflows and expose sensitive code repositories.
JetBrains makes development tools including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and TeamCity, and has millions of users worldwide. Its IDE Services platform is widely used for authentication and authorization across enterprise development environments, so a vulnerability in this component is especially serious.
Technical Information
CVE-2025-58334 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in JetBrains IDE Services caused by missing authorization checks. Users without the required permissions could assign themselves high-privileged roles. The flaw is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the system did not properly check whether a user was authorized to assign roles.
A user can exploit it through the standard user interface or the API endpoints for role management, with no advanced techniques or external tools. The root cause is insufficient permission validation during role assignment. Both cloud and on-premises deployments of JetBrains IDE Services are affected in versions before the fixed releases.
No public code snippets or detailed exploit steps are available for this vulnerability. The issue likely sits in the backend logic that handles role assignment requests, where authorization checks were either missing or implemented incorrectly.
Affected Systems and Versions
- JetBrains IDE Services before version 2025.5.0.1086
- JetBrains IDE Services before version 2025.4.2.2164
- Both cloud and on-premises deployments are affected
- All configurations using the vulnerable versions are at risk
Vendor Security History
JetBrains has had several recent security issues in its enterprise products. TeamCity in particular has had privilege escalation and access control vulnerabilities, including CVE-2025-24461 and CVE-2025-54530 through CVE-2025-54538. The company usually issues patches and advisories promptly, but the recurring authorization and access control issues suggest its secure development practices need improvement.
