Remote command execution via unsanitized arguments header
Published Mar 6, 2026 · Updated Mar 6, 2026
Command injection in Iguazio Nuclio before 1.15.20 allows remote attackers to execute commands through a crafted function request. The shell runtime reads X-Nuclio-Arguments, splits it without validation, rejoins it with a PATH-resolved handler, and passes the string to sh -c, which interprets metacharacters. A reachable HTTP-triggered shell-runtime function using a PATH-resolved handler is required; injected commands run with the function container's privileges.
