CVE-2024-46970

HTML injection via unescaped project name

Published Sep 16, 2024 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

HTML injection in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2024.1 allows attackers to render crafted markup through a malicious project name. The project-name display interprets embedded markup instead of neutralizing it, but JetBrains has not identified the responsible rendering component. Exploitation requires local user interaction with an attacker-controlled project, and the vendor's assessment limits the consequence to information disclosure.
