Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: High: A successful attack depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control. That is, a successful attack cannot be accomplished at will, but requires the attacker to invest in some measurable amount of effort in preparation or execution against the vulnerable component before a successful attack can be expected. For example, a successful attack may require an attacker to: gather knowledge about the environment in which the vulnerable target/component exists; prepare the target environment to improve exploit reliability; or inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim in order to read and/or modify network communications (e.g., a man in the middle attack).
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 15 Sep 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should first identify any deployments of feiskyer mcp-kubernetes-server within their environments. Since no patches are currently linked, organizations should implement strict input validation and sanitization on any user-supplied commands or parameters interacting with the --disable-write and --disable-delete options. Restrict access to the management interface of the mcp-kubernetes-server to trusted networks and authenticated users only, even though the vulnerability does not require privileges, to reduce exposure. Employ network segmentation and firewall rules to limit external access to Kubernetes control plane components. Monitor logs for unusual command patterns or chained commands that could indicate exploitation attempts. Consider deploying runtime security tools that detect command injection or anomalous command execution within container orchestration environments. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain patches or updates addressing this issue as they become available. Additionally, review and harden Kubernetes RBAC policies to minimize the impact of any unauthorized command execution.

Description

feiskyer mcp-kubernetes-server through 0.1.11 does not consider chained commands in the implementation of --disable-write and --disable-delete, e.g., it allows a "kubectl version; kubectl delete pod" command because the first word (i.e., "version") is not a write or delete operation.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability depends on the adoption of the feiskyer mcp-kubernetes-server product within their Kubernetes infrastructure. If deployed, attackers could remotely execute unauthorized commands by exploiting the command injection flaw, potentially leading to unauthorized modification of Kubernetes resources or disruption of containerized workloads. Although the CVSS score is low, the integrity of Kubernetes operations could be compromised, leading to potential unauthorized deletion or modification of pods or other resources. This could affect service reliability and data integrity. Given the high attack complexity and no known exploits, immediate widespread impact is unlikely, but targeted attacks against organizations using this product could result in operational disruptions or security breaches. The lack of confidentiality and availability impact reduces the risk of data leaks or denial of service, but integrity violations remain a concern. Organizations relying on Kubernetes for critical infrastructure or services should be aware of this vulnerability to prevent potential misuse.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #23OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.
Architecture and Design
If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.
Implementation
If possible, ensure that all external commands called from the program are statically created.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
