CVE-2026-3864 Details
Description
A vulnerability was discovered in the Kubernetes CSI Driver for NFS where the subDir parameter in volume identifiers was insufficiently validated. Attackers with the ability to create PersistentVolumes referencing the NFS CSI driver could craft volume identifiers containing path traversal sequences (../). During volume deletion or cleanup operations, the driver could operate on unintended directories outside the intended managed path within the NFS export. This may lead to deletion or modification of directories on the NFS server.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the Kubernetes CSI Driver for NFS, affecting all versions prior to v4.13.1. The issue arises from inadequate validation of the subDir parameter in volume identifiers, allowing attackers to create PersistentVolumes with traversal sequences that could manipulate directories outside the intended path on the NFS server. This could result in unauthorized deletion or modification of directories within the NFS export.
Users can upgrade to CSI Driver for NFS versions 4.13.1 or later, restrict PersistentVolume creation privileges to trusted administrators, and review NFS exports to ensure only intended directories are writable by the driver.
