      <title>CVE-2026-76227 — Renovate 42.68.1 before 42.96.3 and 43.0.0 before 43.4.4 Environment Variable Exposure</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-76227</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; renovatebot renovate, mend renovate-ce, mend renovate-ee-server, mend renovate-ee-worker&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Renovate versions from 42.68.1 before 42.96.3 and from 43.0.0 before 43.4.4, including the renovate/renovate Docker images, and Mend Renovate CE/EE images (renovate-ce, renovate-ee-server, renovate-ee-worker) from 13.3.0 before 13.6.0, fail to restrict environment variables to an allowlist when spawning child processes. As a result, child processes (e.g. npm install, postUpgradeTasks, postUpdateOptions) gain full access to all environment variables of the Renovate process, allowing insider or outside attackers to exfiltrate secrets accessible to the Renovate deployment.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>GHSA-8wc6-vgrq-x6cf — Child processes spawned by Renovate incorrectly have full access to environment variables</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-8wc6-vgrq-x6cf</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; npm: renovate&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When Renovate spawns child processes, their access to environment variables is filtered to an allowlist, to prevent unauthorized access to privileged credentials that the Renovate process has access to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since [42.68.1](https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/releases/tag/42.68.1) (2025-12-30), this filtering had been **inadvertently removed**, and so any child processes spawned from these versions will have had access to any environment variables that Renovate has access to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This could lead to [insider attackers](https://docs.renovatebot.com/security-and-permissions/#execution-of-code-insider-attack) and [outside attackers](https://docs.renovatebot.com/security-and-permissions/#execution-of-code-outsider-attack) being able to exflitrate secrets from the Renovate deployment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is recommended to rotate (+ revoke) any credentials that Renovate has access to, in case any spawned child processes have attempted to exfiltrate any secrets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Child processes spawned by Renovate (i.e. `npm install`, anything defined in [`postUpgradeTasks`](https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#postupgradetasks) or [`postUpdateOptions`](https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#postupdateoptions)) will have full access to the environment variables that the Renovate process has.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This could lead to [insider attackers](https://docs.renovatebot.com/security-and-permissions/#execution-of-code-insider-attack) and [outside attackers](https://docs.renovatebot.com/securit…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
