Critical Code-Execution CVEs Found in Chaos-Mesh Platform

⚠️ JFrog Security Research disclosed multiple CVEs in Chaos-Mesh, including three critical flaws that permit in-cluster attackers to execute arbitrary code on any pod. The Chaos Controller Manager exposes an unauthenticated ClusterIP GraphQL /query endpoint on port 10082 by default, enabling mutations such as killProcesses and cleanTcs. The critical issues (CVSS 9.8) arise from unsafe command construction in resolvers and an ExecBypass routine that allows OS command injection. Operators should upgrade to Chaos-Mesh 2.7.3 immediately; as a temporary mitigation redeploy the Helm chart with the control server disabled.

Critical Chaotic Deputy Bugs Risk Kubernetes Cluster Takeover

🔴 Researchers from JFrog disclosed critical command-injection vulnerabilities in Chaos-Mesh (tracked as CVE-2025-59358, CVE-2025-59360, CVE-2025-59361, and CVE-2025-59359) that allow an attacker with access to an unprivileged pod to execute shell commands via an exposed GraphQL API and the Chaos Daemon. Three of the flaws carry a CVSS score of 9.8 and can be exploited in default deployments, enabling denial-of-service or full cluster takeover. Users are advised to upgrade to Chaos-Mesh 2.7.3 or to disable the chaosctl tool and its port via the Helm chart as a workaround.
