Technical Analysis
Renovate versions >=37.158.0 and <37.199.0 contain an OS command injection vulnerability in the helmv3 manager's registryAliases processing. Attackers who have commit access can manipulate registryAliases keys with unquoted shell metacharacters, causing injected commands to be executed during helm repo add operations. This vulnerability allows arbitrary command execution within Renovate's environment, posing a significant security risk.
Potential Impact
An attacker with commit access can execute arbitrary OS commands in the Renovate execution environment by exploiting unquoted shell metacharacters in registryAliases keys. This could lead to full compromise of the Renovate process and potentially the underlying system or environment where Renovate runs.
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 avoid using untrusted input in registryAliases keys. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
