From 1.21.0 until 1.21.2, 1.22.2, and 1.23.1, ConfigUpdateJob processing in edge/pkg/taskmanager/actions/configupdatejob.go concatenates authenticated user-controlled updateFields values into the keadm config-update command and executes it through a system shell. A user with permission to create or modify ConfigUpdateJob resources can include shell metacharacters in the complete --set value and cause arbitrary commands to execute on an enrolled target edge node with the privileges of the KubeEdge process handling the job. This issue is fixed in versions 1.21.2, 1.22.2, and 1.23.1.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-78"],"references":["https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.21.md","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.22.md","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.23.md","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/commit/14f65fc6207787f266cbcb0dceac7f09a81bab2b","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/commit/6309a335c8e5e3c154b6bb0a09292f5c7dc598dc"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:55:23.253742848+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-62182","score":0.00476,"percentile":0.41108,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-m3c6-2p7h-cfr3","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-m3c6-2p7h-cfr3","summary":"KubeEdge: ConfigUpdateJob updateFields enables remote shell injection and code execution on edge nodes","modified":"2026-10-01T20:55:38.215489444Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","ranges":[">=1.21.0 <1.21.2"],"fixed":["1.21.2"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","ranges":[">=1.22.0 <1.22.2"],"fixed":["1.22.2"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","ranges":[">=1.23.0 <1.23.1"],"fixed":["1.23.1"]}]},{"id":"GO-2026-6573","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-6573","summary":"KubeEdge: ConfigUpdateJob updateFields enables remote shell injection and code execution on edge nodes in github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","modified":"2026-10-01T20:45:14.092293112Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","ranges":[">=1.21.0 <1.21.2",">=1.22.0 <1.22.2",">=1.23.0 <1.23.1"],"fixed":["1.21.2","1.22.2","1.23.1"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
