Technical details
A code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) exists in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA's UI Designer component. The flaw stems from improper control of code generation when processing UI Designer form files (.form). An attacker can exploit this by providing a malicious form file that, when processed by the IDE, executes arbitrary commands. While the attack vector is listed as network-based, it typically requires a high complexity (AC:H) precondition, likely involving the victim opening or importing a malicious project or file. Successful exploitation allows for full remote code execution (RCE) with the privileges of the IDE user. The issue is resolved in version 2026.2.
Affected products
