CVE-2025-55198

CVSS v2.0

7.8

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Helm versions prior to 3.18.5
Description: Helm is a package manager for Charts for Kubernetes. An improper validation of type error when parsing Chart.yaml and index.yaml files can lead to a panic. This issue impacts YAML validation where a Chart.yaml file has a null maintainer or the child or parent of a dependencies import-values can be parsed as something other than a string, causing helm lint to panic. Additionally, an empty entry in the list of chart versions within an index.yaml can cause Helm to panic.
Recommendations: Update to Helm version 3.18.5 or later. Ensure YAML files are formatted as Helm expects prior to processing them with Helm.
