CVE-2025-55198 found in golang/helm.sh/helm/v3@v3.18.4

Important

Risk: 3.00 (Low) CVSS: 6.5

Description

Helm is a package manager for Charts for Kubernetes. Prior to version 3.18.5, when parsing Chart.yaml and index.yaml files, an improper validation of type error can lead to a panic. This issue has been resolved in Helm 3.18.5. A workaround involves ensuring YAML files are formatted as Helm expects prior to processing them with Helm.

Affected component

The vulnerability is in pkg:golang/helm.sh/helm/v3@v3.18.4, found in artifacts pkg:devguard/bizzareorganization/jojoasset/adventurerepo.

Recommended fix

Upgrade to version v3.18.5 or later.

# Update all golang packages
go get -u ./... 
# Update only this package
go get v3@v3.18.5
