In JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2026.1 code execution was possible via template injection in the Copyright plugin
AnalysisAI
Template injection (SSTI) in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA's Copyright plugin before version 2026.1 enables local code execution when a victim interacts with a maliciously crafted copyright template. The flaw, rooted in CWE-1336 (improper neutralization of template engine special elements), requires both local access and user interaction, and carries a CVSS score of 4.5 (Medium) reflecting these significant constraints. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Local access to the target machine is required (CVSS AV:L), meaning the attacker cannot exploit this remotely over a network without first delivering a malicious project file or template configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.5 Medium score is consistent with the real-world risk profile: AV:L (local attack vector) and UI:R (user interaction required) substantially constrain exploitability to scenarios where an attacker can deliver a malicious project or template configuration to a developer who then opens it in IntelliJ IDEA. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious IntelliJ IDEA project containing a poisoned copyright template configuration with injected template engine directives (e.g., expressions that invoke Java runtime methods). The project is distributed via a public repository, phishing link, or shared workspace; when the victim opens the project and triggers copyright header insertion or project indexing that invokes the Copyright plugin, the template engine evaluates the payload and executes arbitrary code in the context of the IDE process running as the developer's user account. … |
| Remediation | The primary fix is to upgrade JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA to version 2026.1 or later, which resolves this vulnerability per the JetBrains security advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
