DescriptionCVE.org
A Code Injection and Missing Authentication vulnerability in Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) versions 1.7.0 (and 2.0.0a1) through 1.28.1 (and 2.0.0a2) on Python (OSS), Cloud Run, and GKE allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server hosting the ADK instance.
This vulnerability was patched in versions 1.28.1 and 2.0.0a2.
Customers need to redeploy the upgraded ADK to their production environments. In addition, if they are running ADK Web locally, they also need to upgrade their local instance.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) versions 1.7.0-1.28.0 and 2.0.0a1 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on ADK server instances via combined code injection and missing authentication flaws. Affects Python OSS deployments, Cloud Run, and GKE environments. CVSS 9.3 critical severity with proof-of-concept code available (CVSS:4.0 E:P). No CISA KEV listing indicates no confirmed widespread exploitation at time of analysis, though the authentication bypass combined with RCE presents extreme risk for exposed instances.
Technical ContextAI
Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) is a framework for building AI agent applications on Google Cloud infrastructure. This vulnerability combines CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function) with code injection, allowing attackers to bypass authentication controls entirely and inject malicious code into the ADK runtime environment. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google_cloud:agent_development_kit_(adk)) encompasses Python-based deployments across multiple hosting environments including open-source Python installations, Google Cloud Run serverless containers, and Google Kubernetes Engine clusters. The vulnerability spans major version 1.x (1.7.0 through 1.28.0) and alpha releases of version 2.x (2.0.0a1), indicating a long-standing architectural flaw in authentication enforcement. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) confirms network-accessible attack surface with low complexity and no privileges required, while the scope metrics (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H) indicate potential for cross-boundary impact affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of downstream systems beyond the vulnerable component itself.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade to Google Agent Development Kit version 1.28.1 for production 1.x deployments or version 2.0.0a2 for alpha 2.x deployments, as these releases contain the authentication and code injection patches per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/google/adk-python/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#1274-2026-03-26. After upgrading package dependencies, customers must redeploy updated ADK instances to all production environments including Cloud Run services and GKE workloads, as the fix requires runtime application changes beyond library updates. Development teams running ADK Web locally must upgrade their local installations separately. Until patches can be deployed, implement network-level access controls to restrict ADK instance exposure exclusively to trusted IP ranges, deploy ADK behind authentication-enforcing reverse proxies or API gateways, and monitor ADK application logs for unexpected code execution patterns or unauthorized access attempts. Organizations unable to patch immediately should consider temporarily shutting down exposed ADK instances given the pre-authentication RCE risk and proof-of-concept availability.
