CVE-2026-86503

Information disclosure via Kubernetes spec-source URL fetching

Published Sep 7, 2026 · Updated Sep 8, 2026

SSRF in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2026.2.2 allows attackers to access network resources when a user opens an untrusted project. The Kubernetes integration accepts a spec-source URL from project content and fetches that location without adequately restricting its destination. Exploitation requires the crafted project to be opened, after which the IDE can contact attacker-selected network locations and disclose limited information.
