AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Malicious form files travel via cloned projects (AV:N) but require the developer to open/build the project (UI:R); the exploit itself is reliable once opened (AC:L), yielding full C/I/A impact at user privilege.

In JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2026.2 arbitrary code injection was possible via UI Designer form files
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary code injection in IntelliJ IDEA before version 2026.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by convincing a developer to open a malicious UI Designer form file, leading to full system compromise. No active exploitation or public exploit code has been reported, but a critical-severity vendor patch is available.
