CVE-2025-59360 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in the Chaos Controller Manager component of Chaos Mesh. The flaw is in the GraphQL killProcesses mutation, which constructs a shell command using attacker-controlled PID input via code described as cmd := fmt.Sprintf("kill %s", strings.Join(pids, " ")). Because the PID list is concatenated into a shell command without proper sanitization or safe argument handling, an attacker can supply crafted input containing shell metacharacters or command separators and cause arbitrary operating system commands to be executed. The resulting command is passed through the execution path used by Chaos Mesh to run commands on target pods/nodes, including execution via Chaos Daemon. In the default deployment context described in the source material, this issue is especially dangerous when chained with CVE-2025-59358, which exposes the GraphQL /query endpoint without authentication to in-cluster attackers.

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.
enableCtrlServer=false, as cited in the provided content. Additionally, restrict in-cluster network access to the Chaos Controller Manager service, prevent untrusted pods from reaching the GraphQL /query endpoint, and minimize exposure of Chaos Mesh components until patched. Because the issue is materially worsened by missing authentication on the GraphQL server, limiting reachability and disabling the controller server are the most directly supported mitigations in the provided material.Patch, then assume compromise.
