CVE-2026-64804: In JetBrains WebStorm before 2026.2 arbitrary code execution was possible before granting project trust via project-local linter tooling
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 33/100)
- 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: 0.19% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: JetBrains WebStorm 2026.2.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to JetBrains WebStorm 2026.2 or later.
