## Critical

Critical, because:

- CVSS score 9.9: 9.0 or more.

How we decide what’s critical: <https://agentprime.io/advisories/critical.md>

## Affected packages

- `github.com/kube-logging/logging-operator` (Go): affected `<0.0.0-20260608145523-cf437d7f1e05`; fixed in `0.0.0-20260608145523-cf437d7f1e05`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> Logging operator (Go module github.com/kube-logging/logging-operator) is vulnerable before version 0.0.0-20260608145523-cf437d7f1e05, and that same version is listed as the fix. A user who can create Flow resources can inject Fluentd configuration through record_transformer.records because values are written into fluent.conf without escaping, which can add a block using the exec plugin and run arbitrary commands in the Fluentd aggregator. Upgrade to 0.0.0-20260608145523-cf437d7f1e05 or later; no workaround is listed.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-mjqf-28ph-426h>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
