Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026
Arbitrary code execution in JetBrains WebStorm before 2026.2 allows a malicious project to run attacker-controlled code on a developer's machine by supplying a crafted linter configuration that the IDE trusts and executes when the project is opened. Reported by JetBrains itself (cve@jetbrains.com) and tagged RCE, the flaw carries CVSS 7.8 (high) with a local vector and required user interaction. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing, indicating no confirmed active exploitation to date.

Lifecycle Timeline

In JetBrains WebStorm before 2026.2 arbitrary code execution was possible via a project-supplied linter configuration
Executive ViewAI
JetBrains WebStorm versions before 2026.2 allow arbitrary code execution when developers open projects with malicious linter configurations, creating a direct path to compromise developer machines and potentially inject malicious code into source repositories. Development teams face significant supply chain risk.
Within 24 hours, inventory WebStorm installations and restrict opening of untrusted projects. Within 7 days, implement mandatory code review of linter configuration files (.eslintrc, .stylelintrc, etc.) before project initialization and disable automatic linter execution in WebStorm settings as interim protection. Within 30 days, upgrade all WebStorm instances to version 2026.2 or later upon release and validate that no malicious configurations were committed to repositories.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict WebStorm to trusted projects only; implement mandatory code review of linter configurations; disable automatic linter execution; isolate development workstations from production systems; monitor for suspicious configuration files and unexpected code execution.
