Token disclosure via malicious pull request content
Published Jun 10, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Credential exposure in JetBrains IntelliJ-based IDEs allows remote attackers to steal GitHub access tokens via malicious pull requests. The JetBrains GitHub plugin handles attacker-controlled pull-request content in a way that sends an access token to a third-party host. A user must handle the pull request in an affected IDE with the JetBrains GitHub plugin enabled, configured, and in use.
