CVE-2026-123277: In JetBrains CLion before 2026.3, 2026.2.4.1 missing authentication allowed local users to obtain the debug session environment on Linux
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 20/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.12% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. A user must open a link or visit a page. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: JetBrains CLion 2026.3, 2026.2.4.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to JetBrains CLion 2026.3, 2026.2.4.1 or later.
