Summary

CVE-2026-87114 is a high-severity Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere (CWE-829) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Software Extensions (T1176); ranked at the 7th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SR-11 (Component Authenticity) and SR-3 (Supply Chain Controls and Processes) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

A flaw was found in kube-compare. When processing a 'container://' reference path, the tool incorrectly executes an untrusted container image's entrypoint instead of merely extracting data from a stopped container. This allows a remote attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution…

on the operator's workstation. If the Docker daemon requires elevated privileges, the untrusted code may execute with root-mediated daemon privileges, posing a significant security risk.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SR-11 Component Authenticity partial match

Implements detection and prevention of counterfeit or inauthentic components before they are integrated.

SR-3 Supply Chain Controls and Processes partial match

Establishes processes to identify and address supply-chain weaknesses that would allow untrusted functionality.

SR-4 Provenance partial match

Requires documented, valid provenance for components, preventing acceptance of code from outside the trusted sphere.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

GV.SC-01 partial match
prevents

Supply-chain program directly governs inclusion of third-party executable code.

GV.SC-05 partial match
prevents

Contractual requirements can mandate trusted sources and integrity checks for included functionality.

GV.SC-07 partial match
prevents

Supplier risk assessment explicitly covers risks from their products and libraries.

ID.AM-02 partial match
prevents

Software inventory enables tracking of externally sourced components but does not itself enforce trust.

ID.RA-09 partial match
prevents

Pre-acquisition integrity/authenticity checks directly prevent inclusion of untrusted code.

ID.RA-10 partial match
prevents

Critical-supplier assessment reduces risk of importing executable functionality from untrusted parties.

A.5.21 Managing information security in the ICT supply chain partial match
prevents

By requiring suppliers to propagate security requirements and to disclose component provenance, the control limits the inclusion of functionality obtained from untrusted third-party sources without oversight.
