CVE-2026-75058: CWE-611 in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA
In JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2026.2.1 xXE was possible in the Eclipse settings importers
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-75058) in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA prior to version 2026.2.1 allows XML External Entity (XXE) attacks via the Eclipse settings importers. XXE vulnerabilities occur when XML input containing a reference to an external entity is processed by a weakly configured XML parser, potentially leading to disclosure of local files or other sensitive information. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5 (medium), reflecting local attack vector with low complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction needed. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality but not integrity or availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with local access and the ability to trigger the Eclipse settings import process could exploit the XXE vulnerability to disclose sensitive information from the local system. There is no indication of impact on integrity or availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should exercise caution when importing Eclipse settings from untrusted sources. No official remediation level or patch link is provided at this time.
