CVE-2025-29932
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIn JetBrains GoLand before 2025.1 an XXE during debugging was possible
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAn XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in JetBrains GoLand's debugger allows attackers to inject malicious XML content during debugging sessions, potentially enabling unauthorized file access or denial of service by exploiting how the IDE processes XML in debug configurations.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.
Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed GoLand versionOpen GoLand, then go to Help > About (or on Mac: GoLand > About GoLand). Note the full version number shown (e.g., 2024.3.5).Affected if The version shown is earlier than 2025.1 (for example, 2024.3.x, 2024.2.x, etc.)
-
Check for active debug configurationsExamine your Run/Debug Configurations (Run > Edit Configurations). Look for any configurations that pass XML files or XML-formatted data as program arguments, environment variables, or in the debugger's configuration XML files.Affected if Debug configurations exist that process XML input from external or untrusted sources
-
Review project sources being debuggedInspect your project directories and imported packages. Determine whether you debug code that parses or processes XML from untrusted or external sources, including dependencies fetched from public repositories.Affected if Projects under development contain code that debugs or processes XML from sources you do not fully control or trust
You are affected if your installed GoLand version is below 2025.1 and you use the debugger on projects or configurations that involve processing XML content, particularly from untrusted or external sources.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2025.1
Upgrade to GoLand 2025.1 or later. Until upgraded, avoid debugging untrusted code or XML files from unknown sources.
GoLand 2025.1
- Open GoLand and navigate to Help > Check for Updates
- Download and install GoLand 2025.1 or later from the official JetBrains website (www.jetbrains.com)
- Alternatively, use JetBrains Toolbox to update to the latest version
- After installation, verify the version by checking Help > About to confirm version 2025.1 or higher is installed
