CVE-2026-35171

Arbitrary Code Execution via Malicious Logging Configuration in Kedro

Published Apr 6, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Kedro is a toolbox for production-ready data science. Prior to 1.3.0, Kedro allows the logging configuration file path to be set via the KEDRO_LOGGING_CONFIG environment variable and loads it without validation. The logging configuration schema supports the special () key, which enables arbitrary callable instantiation. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary system commands during application startup. This is a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability caused by unsafe use of logging.config.dictConfig() with user-controlled input. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.0.
