CVE-2022-48435

Source-code disclosure via local log insertion

Published Apr 4, 2023 · Updated Feb 11, 2025

Sensitive-data exposure in JetBrains PhpStorm before 2023.1 allows local users to read source code from the local idea.log file. The IDE writes source-code content into idea.log, but JetBrains has not published the code path or input condition that triggers the logging. A local account with low privileges is required; exposure is limited to source code that the affected IDE instance recorded in its log.
