{"cve":"CVE-2026-76228","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-19T14:17:49.520","modified":"2026-10-08T16:17:42.583","status":"Awaiting Analysis","description":"Renovate versions >=32.124.0 and before 42.68.5 (and Mend renovate-ce/renovate-ee before 13.3.0) contain a command injection vulnerability in Gradle Wrapper artifact handling. When Renovate processes Gradle Wrapper updates, it invokes a wrapper update command via a shell (e.g. /bin/sh -c ... ./gradlew :wrapper --gradle-distribution-url <value>). If an attacker supplies a malicious gradle-wrapper.properties whose distributionUrl contains shell command substitution syntax such as $(...), the shell evaluates it before Gradle parses the URL, resulting in arbitrary command execution in the Renovate runtime. Exploitation requires the attacker to introduce the malicious file into a repository that Renovate scans; the issue occurs even when allowScripts is disabled.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.4},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":6.7},"cwes":["CWE-78"],"references":["https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/security/advisories/GHSA-pfq2-hh62-7m96","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/renovate-before-remote-code-execution-via-gradle-wrapper","https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/security/advisories/GHSA-pfq2-hh62-7m96"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:49:38.260478770+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-76228","score":0.00959,"percentile":0.61253,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-pfq2-hh62-7m96","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-pfq2-hh62-7m96","summary":"Renovate vulnerable to arbitrary command injection via Gradle Wrapper and malicious `distributionUrl`","modified":"2026-08-20T04:04:14.407726185Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"renovate","purl":"pkg:npm/renovate","ranges":[">=32.124.0 <42.68.5"],"fixed":["42.68.5"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
