Chaos Mesh Flaws Enable Cluster Takeover via GraphQL
⚠️Security researchers disclosed multiple critical vulnerabilities in Chaos Mesh that allow minimally privileged in-cluster actors to execute fault injections and potentially take over Kubernetes clusters. The issues, grouped as Chaotic Deputy, include an unauthenticated GraphQL debugging endpoint and several operating-system command-injection flaws (CVE-2025-59358 through CVE-2025-59361). Chaos Mesh released a remediation in 2.7.3; administrators should patch immediately or restrict access to the daemon and API server if they cannot upgrade.
