CVE-2024-58376

Renovate 37.158.0 before 37.199.0 Command Injection via helmv3

Published Aug 19, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.4 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Renovate versions 37.158.0 before 37.199.0 contain a command injection vulnerability in the helmv3 manager's registryAliases handling that allows attackers with commit access to execute arbitrary commands. Attackers can manipulate registryAliases keys with unquoted shell metacharacters to inject commands executed during helm repo add operations, gaining full access to Renovate's execution environment.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The vulnerability is a command injection in Renovate’s helmv3 manager registryAliases handling. Attackers with commit access can craft registryAliases keys containing unquoted shell metacharacters, causing arbitrary commands to run during helm repository addition. This can allow full execution within the Renovate environment, compromising confidentiality, integrity, availability, and potentially the underlying host.

Affected Systems

Affected versions are Renovate 37.158.0 up to, but not including, 37.199.0. The product is Renovate by renovatebot, impacting any deployment of these versions where helm integration is enabled.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.4 indicates high severity. Attackers require commit-level access to a repository managed by Renovate. The CVE was not listed in the CISA KEV catalog and has an EPSS score of < 1%, reflecting a low but nonzero probability of exploitation in the wild. Nonetheless, the ability to inject commands during helm repo addition makes the vulnerability highly exploitable if an attacker can gain commit access.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Renovate to version 37.199.0 or later which removes the command injection flaw.
  • Restrict commit rights to trusted users and enforce least privilege on repositories that Renovate services.
  • Ensure all registryAliases values are validated and quoted or removed, audit helm repository configurations for untrusted inputs, and consider disabling helm integration if not required.
