No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

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. Attackers with repository write access can craft malicious Renovate configuration files to execute arbitrary commands on the machine running Renovate.
