Synopsis

The Python IDE installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a credential disclosure vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the JetBrains PyCharm installation on the remote Windows host is 2019.2.5 or 2019.3. It is, therefore, affected by a credential disclosure vulnerability.

In JetBrains PyCharm 2019.2.5 and 2019.3 on Windows, Apple Notarization Service credentials were included in the PyCharm distributive for Windows. This is fixed in 2019.2.6 and 2019.3.3.

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 2019.2.6, 2019.3.3 or later.
