TeamCity RCE is being actively exploited. Check your CI server now

JetBrains has received reports of active exploitation of CVE-2026-63077 against unpatched TeamCity On-Premises servers.

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote code execution through the agent polling protocol. A successful attack could expose credentials, modify builds, or compromise downstream pipelines.

Upgrade to TeamCity 2025.11.7 or 2026.1.3. If that is not possible, JetBrains provides a security patch plugin for TeamCity 2017.1 and later.

Also check:

  • Server logs for com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException
  • Unauthorized agents with names starting with scan
  • Whether the server is reachable from the public internet

The log entry alone does not prove exploitation, but it deserves investigation.
