CVE-2026-25996

6.9 mediumEPSS 0.6%

Medium (6.9) in linuxfoundation inspektor gadget. EPSS 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in github.com/inspektor-gadget/inspektor-gadget 0.49.1.

Inspektor Gadget is a set of tools and framework for data collection and system inspection on Kubernetes clusters and Linux hosts using eBPF. String fields from eBPF events in columns output mode are rendered to the terminal without any sanitization of control characters or ANSI escape sequences. Therefore, a maliciously forged – partially or completely – event payload, coming from an observed container, might inject the escape sequences into the terminal of ig operators, with various effects. The columns output mode is the default when running ig run interactively.
