{"id":"CVE-2026-88886","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"Renovate before 44.14.7 Command Injection via gradle-wrapper","description":"Renovate is a dependency update automation tool. In versions before 44.14.7 (and in Mend Renovate CE/EE distributions before 15.4.0, and the mend-renovate-enterprise-edition Helm chart before 10.4.0), the manager/gradle-wrapper module does not escape the distributionUrl value read from a repository's gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file before invoking the Gradle Wrapper CLI. In self-hosted deployments configured with binarySource=docker and allowedUnsafeExecutions=['gradleWrapper', ...], a repository that supplies a crafted distributionUrl (for example, appending a shell metacharacter and command) can cause arbitrary commands to be executed as the Renovate user when Renovate processes a Gradle Wrapper update. The issue is fixed in Renovate 44.14.7; as a workaround, remove 'gradleWrapper' from allowedUnsafeExecutions.","publishedAt":"2026-09-10T13:05:36.051Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-29T22:10:41.481Z","severity":{"score":8.5,"label":"High","version":"4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","source":"VulnCheck"},"assigner":"VulnCheck","products":["renovatebot renovate","mend renovate-ce","mend renovate-ee-server","mend renovate-ee-worker","mend mend-renovate-ce","mend mend-renovate-enterprise-edition"],"affected":[{"vendor":"renovatebot","product":"renovate","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThan":"44.14.7","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"44.14.7","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"vendor":"mend","product":"renovate-ce","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThan":"15.4.0","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"15.4.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"vendor":"mend","product":"renovate-ee-server","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThan":"15.4.0","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"15.4.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"vendor":"mend","product":"renovate-ee-worker","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThan":"15.4.0","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"15.4.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"vendor":"mend","product":"mend-renovate-ce","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThan":"15.4.0","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"15.4.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"vendor":"mend","product":"mend-renovate-enterprise-edition","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThan":"10.4.0","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"10.4.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/security/advisories/GHSA-7chm-46wx-888m","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/renovate-before-44.14.7-command-injection-via-gradle-wrapper"],"weaknesses":["CWE-78"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:13:26.108Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/88xxx/CVE-2026-88886.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-88886","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-09-10T13:05:36.051Z","dateUpdated":"2026-09-29T22:10:41.481Z","assignerShortName":"VulnCheck","assignerOrgId":"83251b91-4cc7-4094-a5c7-464a1b83ea10","dateReserved":"2026-09-10T11:25:34.912Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"Renovate before 44.14.7 Command Injection via gradle-wrapper","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"Renovate is a dependency update automation tool.
