Technical details

A code execution vulnerability exists in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA when handling Terraform tool path settings in untrusted projects. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious project configuration that specifies a custom Terraform tool path pointing to an attacker-controlled executable, which is then invoked with the IDE's privileges when a user opens the project.
