maclof kubernetes-client 0.17.0 before 0.32.0 disables TLS certificate verification in parseKubeconfig() and parseKubeconfigFile() when a kubeconfig lacks certificate-authority-data, ignoring insecure-skip-tls-verify. On-path attackers can impersonate the Kubernetes API server to capture Bearer tokens or Basic credentials and tamper with WebSocket or REST API traffic.
CVE-2026-105223
HIGHPre-NVD 7.47.4
EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence
This high-severity CVE scores 7.4 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
