CVE-2026-4810 is a Missing Authentication vulnerability in google-adk. A fix is available for google-adk — see the affected versions and patch details below.
Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) has a Code Injection and Missing Authentication vulnerability
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Description
A Code Injection and Missing Authentication vulnerability in Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) versions 1.7.0 (and 2.0.0a1) through 1.28.1 (and 2.0.0a2) on Python (OSS), Cloud Run, and GKE allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server hosting the ADK instance.
This vulnerability was patched in versions 1.28.1 and 2.0.0a2.
Customers need to redeploy the upgraded ADK to their production environments. In addition, if they are running ADK Web locally, they also need to upgrade their local instance.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for google-adk, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update google-adk to 1.28.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-4810 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-4810 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-4810. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
