NewCVE-2026-88884 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade renovate to version 44.3.1 or higher.
Overview
renovate is a dependency updater.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision in the minimumReleaseAge process. An attacker can trigger automated pull requests and CI workflow execution for newly published or malicious dependency versions by exploiting digest updates to bypass configured stability checks. This is only exploitable if minimumReleaseAge is configured and digest updates are in use.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling digest updates or gating them behind dependencyDashboardApproval in the configuration.
