Overview

renovate is a dependency updater.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect in the GitLab pagination handling, which follows the URL given in a Link header and attaches the GitLab credentials to the next-page request without confining the follow to the original origin. An attacker operating or having compromised a GitLab server can capture those credentials by returning a Link header pointing at a host they control, which the paginated requests then reach with the credentials attached. This requires the platform to be configured as GitLab against that server, whether for the hosted repository or for dependencies resolved from it, and the exposure is reduced by the fact that a compromised server already receives those credentials on the initial requests.
