JetBrains PyCharm < 2022.1 Debugger Port Exposure

low Nessus Plugin ID 379468

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 prior to 2022.1. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

In JetBrains PyCharm before 2022.1 exposure of the debugger port to the internal network was possible.

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 2022.1 or later.
