Technical details

The run configurations feature in IntelliJ IDEA before versions 2026.3 and 2026.2.4 permits unauthenticated connections to arbitrary hosts, suggesting inadequate validation or authentication controls on network operations initiated through this component. An attacker with local access or the ability to modify run configurations could establish unauthorized connections.
