CVE-2026-117530
Description
A flaw was found in JetBrains Junie CLI. Incomplete validation of allowlisted commands allows a local attacker to bypass execution restrictions and run arbitrary commands on the system. Successful exploitation can enable an attacker to compromise sensitive data, alter system settings, or disrupt running services.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate because exploitation requires local access, user interaction, and high complexity to bypass command authorization controls. JetBrains Junie CLI is not packaged or distributed as part of any Red Hat enterprise offerings. Consequently, Red Hat products are not directly impacted by this flaw.

Confidentiality,Integrity,Availability,Non-Repudiation
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands; DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; Read Files or Directories; Modify Files or Directories; Read Application Data; Modify Application Data; Hide Activities
Attackers could execute unauthorized operating system commands, which could then be used to disable the product, or read and modify data for which the attacker does not have permissions to access directly. Since the targeted application is directly executing the commands instead of the attacker, any malicious activities may appear to come from the application or the application's owner.
