Description

A flaw was found in Renovate. This command injection vulnerability occurs when Renovate processes Gradle Wrapper updates. An attacker can introduce a malicious `gradle-wrapper.properties` file into a scanned repository, where a specially crafted `distributionUrl` containing shell command substitution syntax can lead to arbitrary code execution within the Renovate runtime. This allows an attacker to execute unauthorized commands on the system running Renovate.
