{"schema_version":"1.7.5","id":"CVE-2020-15185","published":"2020-09-17T22:15:12.443Z","modified":"2026-07-09T10:21:09.702420Z","aliases":["BIT-helm-2020-15185","GHSA-jm56-5h66-w453"],"related":["SUSE-SU-2020:3760-1"],"details":"In Helm before versions 2.16.11 and 3.3.2, a Helm repository can contain duplicates of the same chart, with the last one always used. If a repository is compromised, this lowers the level of access that an attacker needs to inject a bad chart into a repository. To perform this attack, an attacker must have write access to the index file (which can occur during a MITM attack on a non-SSL connection). This issue has been patched in Helm 3.3.2 and 2.16.11. A possible workaround is to manually review the index file in the Helm repository cache before installing software.","affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/helm/helm","events":[{"introduced":"51bdad42756dfaf3234f53ef3d3cb6bcd94144c2"},{"fixed":"73b28bab84490d18ab1b71489a574ee18e229eea"},{"introduced":"e29ce2a54e96cd02ccfce88bee4f58bb6e2a28b6"},{"fixed":"e5077257b6ca106d1f65652b4ca994736d221ab1"},{"fixed":"055dd41cbe53ce131ab0357524a7f6729e6e40dc"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:helm:helm:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.16.11"},{"introduced":"3.0.0"},{"fixed":"3.3.2"}],"source":["CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["v2.16.10","v3.3.1","v3.3.0-rc.2","v3.3.0","v2.16.9","v3.3.0-rc.1","v2.16.8","v2.16.7","v3.0.0-beta.5","v3.0.0-beta.4","v3.0.0-beta.3","v3.0.0-beta.2","v3.0.0-beta.1","v3.0.0-alpha.2","v3.0.0-alpha.1","v2.10.0-rc.2","v2.10.0-rc.1","v2.8.0-rc.1","v2.7.0","v2.7.0-rc1","v2.6.0","v2.5.0","v2.4.0","v2.3.0","v2.2.0","v2.1.0","v2.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2020-15185.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/helm/helm/security/advisories/GHSA-jm56-5h66-w453"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/helm/helm/commit/055dd41cbe53ce131ab0357524a7f6729e6e40dc"}],"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"}]}
