The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose project metadata to JetBrains Marketplace.

The vulnerability exists due to a missing project-trust check in IntelliJ IDEA when handling project metadata. A local user can cause IntelliJ IDEA to send project metadata to JetBrains Marketplace to disclose project metadata.


2) Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-86504)

CWE-ID: CWE-829 - Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere

CVSSv4: 8.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute code on the host system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper control of functionality from an untrusted control sphere in the Dev Container build process when building a Dev Container from an untrusted project. A remote attacker can build a Dev Container from an untrusted project to execute code on the host system.


3) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-86503)

The vulnerability exists due to missing authentication in the IJent gRPC server when handling gRPC requests. A remote attacker can connect to the unauthenticated server to execute arbitrary code.

The issue affects Remote Development hosts.


5) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-86501)

CWE-ID: CWE-532 - Information Exposure Through Log Files

CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insertion of sensitive information into log files in Terminal command input logging when handling terminal command input. A local user can cause terminal command input to be written to idea.log to disclose sensitive information.
