CVE-2026-50125: MKP: Unbounded Pod Log Read via Attacker-Controlled `limitBytes`/`tailLines` Causes Memory Exhaustion

July 14, 2026 (updated October 1, 2026)

The MKP (Model Context Protocol for Kubernetes) server exposes a get_resource MCP tool that proxies Kubernetes pod log requests. User-supplied limitBytes and tailLines parameters are parsed as unbounded int64 values and forwarded directly to the Kubernetes API. The server then reads the entire returned log stream into an in-memory bytes.Buffer using io.Copy without any application-side size cap. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to exhaust the MKP server’s memory by sending a single crafted tools/call request, leading to process termination (OOM kill) and denial of service. Dynamic reproduction confirmed the MKP process RSS grew from 25.8 MB to 1,179.3 MB (+1,153.4 MB) while handling one request with limitBytes=134217728.
