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.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-19T14:02:10.197+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-08T15:25:04.592+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"renovate","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"renovatebot\",\n                    \"product\": \"renovate\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"32.124.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"42.68.5\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"42.68.5\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:npm/renovate\"\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"renovate-ce","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"mend\",\n                    \"product\": \"renovate-ce\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"13.3.0\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"13.3.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:npm/renovate\"\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"renovate-ee-server","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"mend\",\n                    \"product\": \"renovate-ee-server\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"13.3.0\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"13.3.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:npm/renovate\"\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"renovate-ee-worker","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"mend\",\n                    \"product\": \"renovate-ee-worker\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"13.3.0\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"13.3.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:npm/renovate\"\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0","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,"severity":"HIGH"},{"system":"CVSS 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,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"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"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-76228","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-76228","identifiers":["CVE-2026-76228"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
