Active exploitation of a software development platform within Australia

This alert is relevant to all Australian organisations that utilise the TeamCity On-Premises server. This alert is intended for a technical audience.

Background

The Australian Signals Directorate's Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASD's ACSC) has observed active exploitation of a vulnerability affecting TeamCity On-Premises servers within Australia.

• TeamCity is a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) server to automate the processes of building, testing, and deploying software.

CVE 2026-63077 may allow an unauthenticated attacker with HTTP(S) access to a TeamCity server to bypass authentication checks and execute arbitrary operating system commands.

This vulnerability affects all TeamCity On-Premises versions.

ASD's ACSC has no information to indicate that a specific industry or sector is being targeted.

Mitigation advice 

ASD's ACSC advises organisations to ensure the following:

• Review networks and environments for use of vulnerable versions of the TeamCity On-Premises server.
• Review the need to continue to have the interface exposed to the internet.
• Review the mitigation advice on the vendor support page. 
• If TeamCity Server is managed by a third party, such as a MSP or Enterprise IT provider, you should contact that provider to ensure the products have been patched and are being monitored for suspicious activity.
• Apply patches as soon as practicable, if required.
• Monitor for suspicious activity. Indicators of Compromise (IoC) have been released by the vendor, which may assist in detecting malicious activity. 
• If suspicious activity is detected, notify ASD’s ACSC.
