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.
