SSRF via OpenAPI preview proxy
Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 17, 2026
Server-side request forgery in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2026.2.1 allows attackers to trigger network requests via a preview endpoint. JetBrains' fixed-issues record identifies the affected locus as the OpenAPI preview proxy in untrusted projects, which accepted a user-controlled target and caused the IDE to fetch it on the user's behalf. Exploitation requires opening attacker-controlled content or otherwise reaching the exposed listener, and the documented impact is limited to unintended requests to internal or external resources.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
