Real-World Exposure

Description
feiskyer/mcp-kubernetes-server through 0.1.11 allows OS command injection via the /mcp/kubectl endpoint. The handler constructs a shell command with user-supplied arguments and executes it with subprocess using shell=True, enabling injection through shell metacharacters (e.g., ;, &&, $()), even when the server is running in read-only mode.
A remote, unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the host, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
This issue is distinct from mcp-server-kubernetes and from CVE-2025-53355.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for mcp-kubernetes-server, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of mcp-kubernetes-server for CVE-2025-59377. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
Stop passing untrusted input into the interpreter or shell: call the affected binary with an argument array rather than a composed command string, reject anything outside a strict allowlist of expected values, and run the component under an account that cannot reach beyond the work it legitimately does.
