CVE-2020-15185

15
FAUCET Score

CVE-2020-15185 describes a low-severity vulnerability in Helm versions prior to 2.16.11 and 3.3.2, where duplicate chart entries in a Helm repository's index file could allow an attacker with write access to inject malicious charts. The attack requires high privileges (write access to the index file, potentially via a MITM attack on non-SSL connections) and has a low impact, primarily affecting integrity by potentially installing an unintended chart. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
