- Severity: MEDIUM
- CVE: CVE-2026-88983
- Ecosystems: go
- Packages: github.com/kubeflow/pipelines
## Summary
The Kubeflow Pipelines API server fetched caller-supplied pipeline package URLs without restricting the destination. A caller authorized to create a pipeline or pipeline version could cause requests to originate from the API server’s network position, including to internal services that the caller could not otherwise reach.
## Impact
The reported evidence demonstrates blind server-side request forgery and a limited status-code oracle. The fetched response is processed as a pipeline package; the report does not demonstrate arbitrary response-body disclosure or credential theft. A request to a cloud metadata endpoint returned HTTP 403, which does not establish access to metadata contents or tokens.
The confidentiality metric is Low to reflect the limited information obtainable through the status-code oracle. High confidentiality impact and integrity or availability impact are not established by the submitted evidence. Impact depends on the API server’s network reachability and the deployment’s trust boundaries.
## Patches
Fixed by [kubeflow/pipelines#12750](https://github.com/kubeflow/pipelines/pull/12750), first released in 2.17.0. The fix validates URL schemes, ports, allowed domains, and resolved IP addresses; validates redirects; and enforces IP restrictions at connection time. The HTTP client also applies timeouts and disables environment proxy use so connections pass through the validated dialer.
Operators should keep pipeline URL validation enabled and…
