Last modified

CVE-2026-3864 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. A vulnerability was discovered in the Kubernetes CSI Driver for NFS where the subDir parameter in volume identifiers was insufficiently validated. Attackers with the ability to create PersistentVolumes referencing the NFS CSI driver could craft volume identifiers containing path traversal sequences (../). EPSS estimates a 0.54% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

A vulnerability was discovered in the Kubernetes CSI Driver for NFS where the subDir parameter in volume identifiers was insufficiently validated. Attackers with the ability to create PersistentVolumes referencing the NFS CSI driver could craft volume identifiers containing path traversal sequences (../). During volume deletion or cleanup operations, the driver could operate on unintended directories outside the intended managed path within the NFS export. This may lead to deletion or modification of directories on the NFS server.
