An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-9873 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Jetbrains Intellij Idea. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-9873/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-9873/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-9873","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-9873/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-9873","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-647p-m9j5-g64f","UBUNTU-CVE-2019-9873"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IntelliJ IDEA IDE","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers with local access can read cleartext server credentials stored in IntelliJ IDEA configuration files, compromising Task Server accounts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"intellij_idea","vendor":"jetbrains"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"},{"id":"CWE-312","name":"Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"In several versions of JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, creating Task Servers configurations leads to saving a cleartext unencrypted record of the server credentials in the IDE configuration files.
