Executive Summary

This vulnerability in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before version 2026.2 allows arbitrary code execution without requiring project trust. It specifically occurs through development container configuration, meaning an attacker could execute malicious code before the user grants permission to trust the project.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to run arbitrary code on your system, potentially leading to data theft, system compromise, or further malware installation. Since it occurs before project trust is granted, users may unknowingly execute malicious code.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. Organizations using affected versions may face compliance violations, legal penalties, and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA to version 2026.2 or later to address the arbitrary code execution vulnerability before granting project trust.
