Summary

From July 27 through August 5, 2020, Trail of Bits reviewed the security of Helm and conducted this assessment over the course of three person-weeks with two engineers working from v3.3.0-rc.1 (c2dfaa) from the Helm repository.

Details

The assessment revealed a total of 14 findings ranging from medium to informational severity. Overall, the Helm codebase maturity could be improved. In some areas, it does not perform the necessary data validation, and in others the implementation either does not match the expected functionality or is not fully documented. These gaps can affect the security posture of the system since Helm users may make incorrect assumptions.

Methodology

No methodology was provided.
