Unsafe Deserialization in feast (CVE-2025-11157)

Summary

Vulnerability in feast (CVE-2025-11157). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.54.0 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

A high-severity remote code execution vulnerability exists in feast-dev/feast version 0.53.0, specifically in the Kubernetes materializer job located at feast/sdk/python/feast/infra/compute_engines/kubernetes/main.py. The vulnerability arises from the use of yaml.load(..., Loader=yaml.Loader) to deserialize /var/feast/feature_store.yaml and /var/feast/materialization_config.yaml. This method allows for the instantiation of arbitrary Python objects, enabling an attacker with the ability to modify these YAML files to execute OS commands on the worker pod. This vulnerability can be exploited before the configuration is validated, potentially leading to cluster takeover, data poisoning, and supply-chain sabotage.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'feast' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で feast を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade feast to 0.54.0

    ステージング環境で 0.54.0 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
