NewCVE-2025-66404 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade mcp-server-kubernetes to version 2.9.8 or higher.
Overview
mcp-server-kubernetes is a MCP server for interacting with Kubernetes clusters via kubectl
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection via the exec_in_pod tool. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands within Kubernetes pods by supplying crafted input containing shell meta-characters, which are interpreted by the shell due to lack of input validation.
Note:
This can be exploited either directly by users with access to the tool interface or indirectly by embedding malicious instructions in pod logs that may be executed by AI agents.
