Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A malicious contributor with commit access can abuse Renovate’s Helm v3 configuration to run arbitrary commands inside the Renovate environment. Successful exploitation could expose credentials, alter automation, or disrupt services accessible from that environment.
Executive priority
Treat as an urgent automation-platform issue. Prioritize internet-connected or credential-rich Renovate environments and repositories with broad contributor access. Upgrade promptly, then review configuration changes and execution logs for possible misuse.
Technical view
Renovate versions 37.158.0 through 37.198.x improperly handle helmv3 registryAliases keys. Unquoted shell metacharacters can cause command injection during helm repo add operations, resulting in arbitrary command execution with Renovate’s privileges. The issue is categorized as CWE-78 and scored CVSS 4.0 9.3.
Likely exposure
Exposure requires an affected Renovate version, use of the helmv3 manager, and an attacker able to commit malicious configuration or content processed by Renovate. Environments holding repository, registry, cloud, or deployment credentials face greater potential impact.
Exploitation context
The supplied sources describe arbitrary command execution by attackers with commit access. CISA KEV status is false, and the bundle provides no evidence of active exploitation in the wild or a public exploit.
Researcher notes
The vulnerable behavior is shell command construction involving helmv3 registryAliases during repository addition. The affected interval is 37.158.0 through versions before 37.199.0. The bundle does not provide indicators of compromise, affected deployment counts, or evidence of exploitation.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade Renovate to version 37.199.0 or later.
- Restrict commit access to repositories processed by privileged Renovate instances.
- Review helmv3 registryAliases and remove untrusted or suspicious entries.
- Limit Renovate credentials and network access to essential resources.
Validation and detection
- Inventory all Renovate deployments and confirm their exact versions.
- Identify deployments using the helmv3 manager and registryAliases configuration.
- Review registryAliases keys for unexpected shell metacharacters or unauthorized changes.
- Review Renovate job logs for unexpected activity during Helm repository additions.
- Confirm upgraded deployments report version 37.199.0 or later.
