CVE-2026-61459
Last modified
CVE-2026-61459 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. MCP Server Kubernetes before 3.9.0 contains an argument injection vulnerability in structured tools (kubectl_get, kubectl_describe, kubectl_delete) that allows attackers to bypass the assertNoDangerousFlags security check by supplying resourceType and name parameters with leading dashes. Attackers can inject the --server flag to redirect kubectl commands to an attacker-controlled API server, causing the operator's bearer token to be transmitted externally and enabling full cluster compromise.. EPSS estimates a 0.42% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
