CVE-2026-52833 Details
Description
Nuclio is a "Serverless" framework for Real-Time Events and Data Processing. Prior to version 1.16.5, Nuclio's Java runtime generates a build.gradle file during function builds using Go's text/template package. The template renders runtimeAttributes.repositories[] values with the {{ . }} action, which performs no escaping. An attacker can embed a closing brace (}) to break out of the repositories {} block and append arbitrary Groovy statements that execute unconditionally during the Gradle configuration phase. This issue has been patched in version 1.16.5.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in Nuclio's Java runtime, affecting versions through 1.15.27. The issue arises because the runtime generates a build.gradle file during function builds, using Go's text/template package. This template renders user-supplied repository values without proper escaping, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary Groovy code that executes during the Gradle configuration phase. The vulnerability has been patched in Nuclio version 1.16.5.
Users can update to Nuclio version 1.16.5 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. For those unable to upgrade, it is recommended to disable Java runtime support in the Nuclio Dashboard, use kaniko instead of the Docker builder to avoid mounting the Docker socket, and enable authentication on the Dashboard to prevent unauthorized access.
