Executive Summary

In JetBrains PyCharm before version 2026.3, a vulnerability allows code execution in Safe Mode through a specially crafted Jupyter notebook widget module. Safe Mode is designed to restrict potentially harmful actions, but this flaw bypasses those restrictions.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on your system even when PyCharm is running in Safe Mode. This might lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or system compromise if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Update JetBrains PyCharm to version 2026.3 or later to address the vulnerability. Avoid using Safe Mode with untrusted Jupyter notebooks or widgets.
