Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Renovate. This vulnerability, a command injection, allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the Renovate user. This occurs when the gomod manager processes unescaped dependency names in import-path update commands, specifically in `binarySource=docker` mode during Go module major version updates with `postUpdateOptions gomodUpdateImportPaths` enabled. By injecting shell metacharacters through malicious dependency names, an attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-10 13:22:26 UTC
Renovate before 44.14.7 contains a command injection vulnerability in the gomod manager when processing unescaped depName parameters in import-path update commands with binarySource=docker mode. Attackers can inject shell metacharacters through malicious dependency names to execute arbitrary commands as the Renovate user during Go module major version updates with postUpdateOptions gomodUpdateImportPaths enabled.
