CVE-2026-61459 is an argument-injection vulnerability in Flux159 MCP Server Kubernetes versions before 3.9.0. The structured kubectl_get, kubectl_describe, and kubectl_delete tools permit attacker-controlled resourceType or name values beginning with dashes to bypass the assertNoDangerousFlags validation. This allows additional kubectl command-line options to be injected, including an option that redirects the client to an attacker-controlled Kubernetes API server. The redirected client may transmit the MCP Server Kubernetes operator bearer token during authentication.

A critical argument-injection vulnerability in MCP Server Kubernetes versions before 3.9.0. Leading-dash values in resourceType and name can bypass dangerous-flag validation, enabling injection of kubectl's --server option, bearer-token exfiltration to an attacker-controlled Kubernetes API server, and potential full cluster compromise.
A critical argument injection vulnerability in MCP Server Kubernetes that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject the --server flag into kubectl commands, exfiltrate the operator's bearer token, and potentially fully compromise the Kubernetes cluster.
An argument injection vulnerability in MCP Server Kubernetes structured kubectl tools that allows bypass of a security check, redirection of kubectl commands to an attacker-controlled API server, leakage of the operator bearer token, and potential full Kubernetes cluster compromise.
