Overview

renovate is a dependency updater.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the env configuration option, which is not re-validated against the allowedEnv allowlist when applied from repository config or presets. An authenticated user can set arbitrary environment variables in their repository's Renovate config or via presets, bypassing the allowedEnv restriction that self-hosted administrators intend to enforce. This allows the user to inject environment variables into package manager subcommands executed by Renovate, potentially exposing secrets or influencing command execution in ways the administrator has not permitted.
