MCP Server Kubernetes: kubectl-generic flag injection enables Kubernetes bearer token exfiltration

### Summary The `kubectl_generic` tool in `mcp-server-kubernetes` passes user-supplied flags directly to kubectl without any allowlist, enabling a **privilege escalation attack** within Kubernetes environments. An attacker who already has limited cluster or codebase access, for example, a developer with pod-deployment permissions but not cluster-admin credentials, can plant a single structured JSON line in an application's log output. When an operator with a privileged kubeconfig uses the MCP se

MCP Server Kubernetes: Tool Access Control Bypass via Presentation-Layer Filtering Without Execution-Layer Enforcement

## Summary `mcp-server-kubernetes` exposes three environment variables (`ALLOW_ONLY_READONLY_TOOLS`, `ALLOW_ONLY_NON_DESTRUCTIVE_TOOLS`, `ALLOWED_TOOLS`) documented as access controls for restricting which Kubernetes operations are available. These controls are enforced at the tool discovery layer (`tools/list`) but not at the execution layer (`tools/call`). Any client that knows a tool name can invoke it directly regardless of the configured restriction mode. The access control was effectively

MCP Server Kubernetes has an Argument Injection in port_forward tool via space-splitting

## Summary The `port_forward` tool in `mcp-server-kubernetes` constructs a kubectl command as a string and splits it on spaces before passing to `spawn()`. Unlike all other tools in the codebase which correctly use `execFileSync("kubectl", argsArray)`, `port_forward` uses string concatenation with user-controlled input (`namespace`, `resourceType`, `resourceName`, `localPort`, `targetPort`) followed by naive `.split(" ")` parsing. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary kubectl flags by emb

mcp-server-kubernetes has potential security issue in exec_in_pod tool

### Summary A security issue exists in the `exec_in_pod` tool of the `mcp-server-kubernetes` MCP Server. The tool accepts user-provided commands in both array and string formats. When a string format is provided, it is passed directly to shell interpretation (`sh -c`) without input validation, allowing shell metacharacters to be interpreted. This vulnerability can be exploited through direct command injection or indirect prompt injection attacks, where AI agents may execute commands without expl

MCP Server Kubernetes vulnerable to command injection in several tools

### Summary A command injection vulnerability exists in the `mcp-server-kubernetes` MCP Server. The vulnerability is caused by the unsanitized use of input parameters within a call to `child_process.execSync`, enabling an attacker to inject arbitrary system commands. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the server process's privileges. The server constructs and executes shell commands using unvalidated user input directly within command-line strings. This introduces
