### Summary Attackers with commit access to the default branch of a repo using Renovate could manipulate helmv3 registryAliases to execute arbitrary commands. ### Details Since [#26848](https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/pull/26848), `registryAliases` has become mergeable. This means that the helmv3 manager started honoring its value and uses a `helm repo add <key> <parameters>` command for each defined alias. See source code: https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/23f3df6216375cb5bcfe027b0faee304f877f891/lib/modules/manager/helmv3/artifacts.ts#L80 The key was not quoted, leading to the ability to use variable references (`$FOO`) in it and have them printed by Renovate on the pull request, or even running any shell commands. ### PoC Inside a repository where Renovate runs, add a Helm chart with an outdated dependency, for example: test-chart/Chart.yaml: ``` apiVersion: v2 name: redis version: 1.0.0 dependencies: - name: redis version: 18.13.10 repository: oc...

It's time to start regulating LLMs to ensure they're accurately trained and ready to handle business deals that could affect the bottom line.

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where users may be able to launch containers that bypass the mountable secrets policy enforced by the ServiceAccount admission plugin when using containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated. The policy ensures pods running with a service account may only reference secrets specified in the service account’s secrets field. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if the ServiceAccount admission plugin and the kubernetes.io/enforce-mountable-secrets annotation are used together with containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated.
