CVE-2026-59792 is a critical improper path handling vulnerability in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA affecting versions before 2026.1.4 and 2026.2. The flaw resides in project workspace ID handling, where insufficient validation allows path traversal outside the intended directory boundary. An attacker can supply a crafted workspace identifier that causes IntelliJ IDEA to access attacker-influenced paths, creating conditions that can lead to arbitrary code execution on the developer workstation when a malicious project is opened or otherwise processed.
