What, why and how

A Code Injection vulnerability in adk web in Google Cloud Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Python versions 2.0.0 through 2.6.0 on Python (OSS), Cloud Run, and GKE environments where pytest is installed allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code using a crafted test session replay.

What

A Code Injection vulnerability in adk web in Google Cloud Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Python versions 2.0.0 through 2.6.0 on Python (OSS), Cloud Run, and GKE environments where pytest is installed allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code using a crafted test session replay.

Why

The product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are not allowed by policy or otherwise require other action to neutralize before additional processing takes place, but the list is incomplete.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may execute code or commands in the affected security context.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path

Weakness

CWE-184 ↗

CWE-184: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs. The product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are not allowed by policy or otherwise require other action to neutralize before additional processing takes place, but the list is incomplete.

Post-exploitation / living off the land
After compromise, an attacker may use built-in shells, scripting engines, scheduled tasks and native network utilities for discovery, persistence or movement. This is a plausible LoTL path, not evidence that it has occurred for every attack.
