CVE-2025-55199 (GCVE-0-2025-55199)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-13 23:23 – Updated: 2025-08-14 14:50

Title

Helm Charts with Specific JSON Schema Values Can Cause Memory Exhaustion

Summary

Helm is a package manager for Charts for Kubernetes. Prior to version 3.18.5, it is possible to craft a JSON Schema file in a manner which could cause Helm to use all available memory and have an out of memory (OOM) termination. This issue has been resolved in Helm 3.18.5. A workaround involves ensuring all Helm charts that are being loaded into Helm do not have any reference of $ref pointing to /dev/zero.

Severity

CVE-2026-35206 (GCVE-0-2026-35206)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-04-09 21:02 – Updated: 2026-04-14 14:45

Title

Helm Chart extraction output directory collapse via `Chart.yaml` name dot-segment

Summary

Helm is a package manager for Charts for Kubernetes. In Helm versions <=3.20.1 and <=4.1.3, a specially crafted Chart will cause helm pull --untar [chart URL | repo/chartname] to write the Chart's contents to the immediate output directory (as defaulted to the current working directory; or as given by the --destination and --untardir flags), rather than the expected output directory suffixed by the chart's name. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.20.2 and 4.1.4.
