JetBrains PyCharm 2023.1.x < 2023.1.6 / 2023.2.x < 2023.2.7 / 2023.3.x < 2023.3.6 / 2024.1.x < 2024.1.3 Token Exposure

high Nessus Plugin ID 379461

Synopsis

The Python IDE installed on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the JetBrains PyCharm installation on the remote host is 2023.1.x prior to 2023.1.6, or is 2023.2.x prior to 2023.2.7, or is 2023.3.x prior to 2023.3.6, or is 2024.1.x prior to 2024.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

A GitHub access token could be exposed to third-party sites in JetBrains IDEs after version 2023.1. For PyCharm the issue is resolved in 2023.1.6, 2023.2.7, 2023.3.6, 2024.1.3 and 2024.2 EAP2.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade JetBrains PyCharm to version 2023.1.6, 2023.2.7, 2023.3.6, 2024.1.3, 2024.2 EAP2 or later.
