Helm · Helm · CVE-2020-15187
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Helm versions prior to 2.16.11
Helm versions prior to 3.3.2
**Description**
A Helm plugin can contain duplicates of the same entry, with the last one always used. If a plugin is compromised, this lowers the level of access that an attacker needs to modify a plugin's install hooks, causing a local execution attack. To perform this attack, an attacker must have write access to the git repository or plugin archive (.tgz) while being downloaded, which can occur during a MITM attack on a non-SSL connection.
**Recommendations**
For Helm versions prior to 2.16.11, update to version 2.16.11 or later.
For Helm versions prior to 3.3.2, update to version 3.3.2 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider installing plugins using a secure connection protocol like SSL to minimize the risk of exploitation.
