CVE-2026-35171: CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in kedro-org kedro
Kedro versions prior to 1. 3. 0 contain a critical remote code execution vulnerability due to unsafe loading of a logging configuration file specified by the KEDRO_LOGGING_CONFIG environment variable. The vulnerability arises because the logging configuration schema supports a special () key that allows arbitrary callable instantiation, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary system commands during application startup. This issue is fixed in Kedro version 1. 3. 0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Kedro before version 1.3.0 allows the logging configuration file path to be set via the KEDRO_LOGGING_CONFIG environment variable without validation. The logging configuration uses logging.config.dictConfig(), which supports a special () key enabling arbitrary callable instantiation. An attacker controlling this configuration can execute arbitrary system commands during application startup, resulting in a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CWE-94). This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, indicating high exploitability and impact. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.3.0.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary system commands remotely during application startup, leading to full compromise of the affected system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This can result in complete system takeover or disruption of services.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Kedro to version 1.3.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Do not use versions prior to 1.3.0. There is no indication of alternative mitigations or temporary fixes; applying the official update is required.
