This vulnerability affects Python (OSS), Cloud Run, and GKE environments where pytest is installed. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this flaw by using a crafted test session replay to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is classified as critical due to its potential impact and ease of exploitation. No patch or remediation guidance is currently provided. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-79696 is a critical code injection vulnerability in the adk web component of Google Cloud Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Python versions 2.0.0 through 2.6.0. It affects deployments on Python (OSS), Cloud Run, and GKE environments where pytest is installed. The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted test session replay. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-184 and has a CVSS 4.0 vector indicating network attack vector, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No official patch or fix is currently documented.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This can lead to full system compromise in environments running vulnerable versions of the ADK with pytest installed. The vulnerability affects multiple deployment environments including Python OSS, Cloud Run, and GKE.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to vulnerable components and disabling pytest in production environments if feasible. Monitor official Google Cloud advisories for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
