Kubernetes kubelet arbitrary command execution

CVE-2024-10220GHSA-27wf-5967-98gx

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (k8s.io/kubernetes 1.30.3, 1.29.7, 1.28.12), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-10220

Advisory: Kubernetes kubelet arbitrary command execution
IDs: CVE-2024-10220, GHSA-27wf-5967-98gx
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-10220 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:08 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.6)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: k8s.io/kubernetes 1.30.3, 1.29.7, 1.28.12. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go k8s.io/kubernetes: affected < 1.28.12; >= 1.29.0, < 1.29.7; >= 1.30.0, < 1.30.3; fixed in 1.28.12, 1.30.3, 1.29.7

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go k8s.io/kubernetes: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on k8s.io/kubernetes.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
