Summary

JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2026.3, 2026.2.4 is affected. Improper control of document type definition (CWE-827) lets crafted annotations.xml files trigger server-side request forgery while the IDE indexes them. A local attacker without privileges can trigger it, but a user must interact with the IDE.
