As a result, child processes (e.g. npm install, postUpgradeTasks, postUpdateOptions) gain full access to all environment variables of the Renovate process, allowing insider or outside attackers to exfiltrate secrets accessible to the Renovate deployment.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-19T14:02:09.384+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-08T15:25:04.01+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
