From 1.12.0 until 1.21.2, 1.22.2, and 1.23.1, the v1alpha2 NodeUpgradeJob handler in edge/pkg/taskmanager/actions/nodeupgradejob.go concatenates authenticated user-controlled spec.version and spec.image values into the keadm upgrade edge shell command. A user with permission to create or update NodeUpgradeJob resources can supply shell metacharacters in either field, causing arbitrary commands to execute on targeted edge nodes with the privileges of the upgrade process and compromising node confidentiality, integrity, and availability. 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/552af457a4c7ce80ea1678ab5889f475b36ea103","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/commit/657b745bebcdd7a221eb34c0aac13231ef12c37f"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:55:23.253742848+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-62371","score":0.00485,"percentile":0.41811,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-5jpj-293f-rhvj","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-5jpj-293f-rhvj","summary":"KubeEdge: Command Injection in NodeUpgradeJob - RCE on edge nodes via v1alpha2 API","modified":"2026-10-01T20:56:02.595070677Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","ranges":[">=1.12.0 <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-2026-6557","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-6557","summary":"KubeEdge: Command Injection in NodeUpgradeJob - RCE on edge nodes via v1alpha2 API in github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","modified":"2026-10-01T20:45:12.225060671Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","ranges":[">=1.12.0 <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).
