CVE-2025-59359 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in the Chaos Controller Manager component of Chaos Mesh. The flaw is in the GraphQL cleanTcs mutation, which is used to clean up Linux traffic control (tc) configuration after network chaos experiments. According to the provided content, attacker-controlled device input is concatenated directly into a shell command of the form "tc qdisc del dev <device> root" without proper sanitization or neutralization of shell metacharacters. The resulting command is then executed through the platform’s command-execution path, enabling arbitrary shell command injection. In deployments where the vulnerable mutation is reachable, especially when chained with CVE-2025-59358 (missing authentication on the GraphQL endpoint), an unauthenticated attacker with only in-cluster network access can invoke the mutation and achieve remote code execution across the Kubernetes cluster.
