CVE-2024-58376: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in renovatebot renovate
Renovate versions 37.158.0 before 37.199.0 have a critical OS command injection vulnerability in the helmv3 manager's registryAliases handling. This flaw allows attackers with commit access to execute arbitrary commands by injecting shell metacharacters into registryAliases keys. The injected commands run during helm repo add operations, potentially giving full control over Renovate's execution environment.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-58376 is an OS command injection vulnerability affecting Renovate versions starting at 37.158.0 and before 37.199.0. The vulnerability exists in the helmv3 manager's handling of registryAliases keys, where unquoted shell metacharacters can be injected by attackers with commit access. These injected commands are executed during helm repo add operations, enabling arbitrary command execution within Renovate's environment.
Potential Impact
An attacker with commit access can execute arbitrary OS commands on the Renovate execution environment, potentially leading to full compromise of the system running Renovate. This elevates the risk to critical severity due to the ability to execute commands without restrictions.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict commit access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to helm repo add operations involving registryAliases.
