Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The vulnerability is triggered through the DevKit debug listener endpoint, which is a component of the IntelliJ Platform Plugin DevKit - meaning the DevKit plugin must be present and active in the IDE installation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 5.4 Medium score is broadly consistent with the realistic impact: SSRF with low C and I impact and unchanged scope limits the blast radius. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker hosts a malicious IntelliJ project file or crafts a URL that, when a developer opens or interacts with it in IntelliJ IDEA, causes the DevKit debug listener endpoint to issue an HTTP request to an attacker-chosen target - such as the AWS EC2 metadata service at 169.254.169.254 or an internal corporate API endpoint. The attacker retrieves the response, potentially harvesting cloud credentials or enumerating internal services. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade IntelliJ IDEA to version 2026.2.1 or later, which JetBrains identifies as the fix release per the security bulletin at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
