CVE-2026-88980: Kubeflow Pipelines: Unauthenticated server-side request forgery in the frontend http/https artifact source via decimal-IP bypass of the bucket validator
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.59% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: kubeflow pipelines 2.18.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to kubeflow pipelines 2.18.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Kubeflow Pipelines enables users to build and deploy portable, scalable machine learning workflows. Prior to 2.18.0, the frontend GET /artifacts/get route accepts source=http or source=https with caller-controlled bucket and key values, and isAllowedResourceName permits an all-digit decimal host that the URL parser converts to an IPv4 address. The default ALLOWED_ARTIFACT_DOMAIN_REGEX and authorization-disabled standalone configuration allow an unauthenticated caller to fetch internal HTTP resources and receive their response body. In the authenticated multi-user configuration, the same destination-validation defect is reachable by a low-privilege tenant with a valid identity and authorized namespace. Cloud credential disclosure depends on reachable metadata services and attached roles, and the issue does not establish IMDSv2 bypass or credential access when metadata is blocked. This issue is fixed in version 2.18.0.
