Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Google
Product: Google-ADK

Description

A vulnerability in the Agent Development Kit (ADK) allows for continuation forgery in tool confirmations. An attacker who is able to manipulate or inject events into the session history can execute unauthorized tools by forging a tool confirmation response. This is possible because the framework did not verify if the target tool was registered to the executing agent, did not validate if the tool actually required confirmation, and did not match the confirmation arguments against the original tool call event in the history.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability in Google-ADK involves incorrect authorization (CWE-863) where the framework does not properly verify tool registration, confirmation requirements, or confirmation arguments in the session history. An attacker capable of injecting or manipulating session events can forge tool confirmation responses, leading to unauthorized tool execution. The CVSS 4.0 score is 9.3 (critical), reflecting network attack vector, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security requirements. No patch or remediation guidance is currently available, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute unauthorized tools within the Google-ADK environment by forging confirmation responses. This compromises the integrity and security of the system, potentially leading to unauthorized actions and control without requiring privileges or user interaction.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the Google-ADK environment to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious manipulation of session history events.
