This could lead to the injection of unwanted information into a chart. This issue has been patched in Helm 3.3.2 and 2.16.11. A possible workaround is to manually review the `dependencies` field of any untrusted chart, verifying that the `alias` field is either not used, or (if used) does not contain newlines or path characters.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"helm","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/helm"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.16.11"},{"introduced":"3.0.0"},{"fixed":"3.3.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/helm/BIT-helm-2020-15184.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"}]}],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/helm/helm/commit/e7c281564d8306e1dcf8023d97f972449ad74850"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/helm/helm/security/advisories/GHSA-9vp5-m38w-j776"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-15184"}],"database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:helm:helm:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"Low"}}
