CVE-2021-29263
In JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA 2020.3.3, local code execution was possible because of insufficient checks when getting the project from VCS.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.46%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
