CVE-2025-67508 has a CVSS score of 8/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-67508?

CVE-2025-67508 affects the following packages: github.com/gardener/gardenctl-v2 (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix CVE-2025-67508?

Update github.com/gardener/gardenctl-v2 to 0.0.0-20251107111549-0bdc484cb5fb or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-67508 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2025-67508 in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/gardener/gardenctl-v2. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2025-67508 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2025-67508?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2025-67508 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2025-67508 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2025-67508 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2025-67508?

CVE-2025-67508 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 10th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2025-67508?

CVE-2025-67508 is classified as CWE-77 (CWE-77). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2025-67508 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2025-67508 was published on December 12, 2025 and was last updated on April 10, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

gardenctl is a command-line client for the Gardener which configures access to clusters and cloud provider CLI tools. When using non‑POSIX shells such as Fish and PowerShell, versions 2.11.0 and below of gardenctl allow an attacker with administrative privileges for a Gardener project to craft malicious credential values. The forged credential values are used in infrastructure Secret objects that break out of the intended string context when evaluated in Fish or PowerShell environments used by the Gardener service operators. This issue is fixed in version 2.12.0.
