      <title>GHSA-pwcw-6f5g-gxf8 — Helm vulnerable to information disclosure via getHostByName Function</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-pwcw-6f5g-gxf8</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Go: helm.sh/helm/v3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Helm contributor discovered an information disclosure vulnerability using the `getHostByName` template function.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`getHostByName` is a Helm template function introduced in Helm v3. The function is able to accept a hostname and return an IP address for that hostname. To get the IP address the function performs a DNS lookup. The DNS lookup happens when used with `helm install|upgrade|template` or when the Helm SDK is used to render a chart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Information passed into the chart can be disclosed to the DNS servers used to lookup the IP address. For example, a malicious chart could inject `getHostByName` into a chart in order to disclose values to a malicious DNS server.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Patches&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The issue has been fixed in Helm 3.11.1.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Workarounds&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prior to using a chart with Helm verify the `getHostByName` function is not being used in a template to disclose any information you do not want passed to DNS servers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### For more information&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Helm&amp;#39;s security policy is spelled out in detail in our [SECURITY](https://github.com/helm/community/blob/master/SECURITY.md) document.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Credits&lt;/p&gt;
