CVE-2026-88983: Kubeflow Pipelines server-side request forgery in pipeline creation

CVE-2026-88983 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5 · Published 2026-11-05

Kubeflow Pipelines is a machine learning workflow platform that allows authenticated users to define and execute data processing pipelines. An authenticated attacker with pipeline creation permissions can supply arbitrary URLs that the API server will fetch, potentially probing internal services and gaining status-code information about private network resources. This provides reconnaissance capabilities for attackers already inside the cluster.

Technologies: github.com/kubeflow/pipelines (Go), Kubeflow Pipelines. Vendors: Go, Kubeflow.

Am I affected by CVE-2026-88983?
Check whether you run github.com/kubeflow/pipelines (Go) or Kubeflow Pipelines at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • github.com/kubeflow/pipelines (Go): upgrade to 0.0.0-20260517162502-504d7797c1e0 or later
    go get github.com/kubeflow/pipelines@v0.0.0-20260517162502-504d7797c1e0

Technical details

The vulnerability is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) in the pipeline and pipeline-version creation API endpoints. An authenticated caller can inject a user-controlled pipelineURL parameter that the API server fetches without destination validation. The attacker can observe HTTP status codes from requests to internal services, providing a limited oracle for network reconnaissance; however, response body disclosure and credential theft are not established as practical attack outcomes.

Affected products

  • Kubeflow Pipelines prior to 2.17.0
