AI-suggested

A fix is available in renovate version 44.11.3 and later. Users should upgrade renovate to version 44.11.3 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

Renovate before 44.11.3 fails to validate Link header destinations when following GitLab server pagination, allowing malicious servers to redirect credential-bearing requests. Attackers controlling a compromised GitLab server can specify a Link header pointing to attacker-controlled infrastructure to exfiltrate authentication credentials.
