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 · unedited
In JetBrains PyCharm before 2025.3.2 a DOM-based XSS on Jupyter viewer page 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 · moderate confidence

A DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Jupyter viewer page of JetBrains PyCharm allows remote attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code that executes in the context of the user's browser session. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of user-supplied input in the DOM.

MitigationUpdate JetBrains PyCharm to version 2025.3.2 or later to apply the vendor patch that addresses this vulnerability.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed PyCharm version
    Open PyCharm and go to Help > About (or PyCharm > About on macOS) to view the exact version number displayed in the application window
    Affected if The displayed version is earlier than 2025.3.2 (for example, 2025.3.1, 2025.2.x, or older)
  2. Confirm Jupyter plugin is enabled
    Navigate to Settings > Plugins > Installed and verify that the Jupyter plugin is installed and enabled
    Affected if The Jupyter plugin is enabled and installed, making the Jupyter viewer functionality available in the IDE
  3. Verify Jupyter viewer is accessible
    Open any Python file in PyCharm, right-click, and check if there is an option to view in Jupyter, or check if you can open .ipynb notebook files directly in the IDE
    Affected if The Jupyter viewer functionality is accessible or has been used to open notebook files in PyCharm
  4. Check for recent Jupyter viewer usage
    Review recent files or sessions where .ipynb files were opened using PyCharm's built-in Jupyter viewer
    Affected if You have recently used the Jupyter viewer to open or interact with notebook files in PyCharm

You are likely affected if your PyCharm version is earlier than 2025.3.2 AND you have the Jupyter plugin enabled or have used the Jupyter viewer to open notebook files.
