CVE-2026-76230
Renovate versions from 35.63.0 before 40.33.0 contain a command injection vulnerability in the npm manager where user-provided packageName values are appended to npm install commands without proper sanitization.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.92%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
