CVE-2019-18658
Last modified
CVE-2019-18658 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In Helm 2.x before 2.15.2, commands that deal with loading a chart as a directory or packaging a chart provide an opportunity for a maliciously designed chart to include sensitive content such as /etc/passwd, or to execute a denial of service (DoS) via a special file such as /dev/urandom, via symlinks. No version of Tiller is known to be impacted. EPSS estimates a 1.75% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
