ReSharper: Process Control
CVE-2025-23385 is a high-severity process control vulnerability in ReSharper from JetBrains, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 2024.3.4, 2024.2.8, 2024.1.7 as the first without the flaw, so updating ReSharper to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
