NewCVE-2026-88886 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade renovate to version 44.14.7 or higher.
Overview
renovate is a dependency updater.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection in the manager/gradle-wrapper process. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands as the Renovate user by supplying a crafted distributionUrl value in the gradle-wrapper.properties file, which is not properly escaped before being used by the Gradle Wrapper CLI. This is only exploitable if the deployment is self-hosted, configured with binarySource=docker, and allowedUnsafeExecutions includes gradleWrapper.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by removing 'gradleWrapper' from the allowedUnsafeExecutions configuration.
