Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who can exploit this issue?

An attacker needs write access to a repository processed by Renovate. They can craft a malicious gleam.toml file so that its depName value injects commands into Renovate's Gleam dependency update operation.

2

What systems are at risk?

The affected system is the machine running Renovate, rather than only the repository itself. Successful exploitation can execute arbitrary commands on that machine with the privileges of the Renovate process.

3

Which Renovate versions are affected?

Versions from 39.53.0 up to, but not including, 40.33.0 are affected.
