Summary
Renovate vulnerable to Azure DevOps token leakage in logs
Fixed in
Workarounds
Do not share Renovate logs with anyone who cannot be trusted with access to the token.
Impact
Applies to Azure DevOps users only. The bot's token may be exposed in server or pipeline logs due to the http.extraheader=AUTHORIZATION parameter being logged without redaction. It is recommended that Azure DevOps users revoke their existing bot credentials and generate new ones after upgrading if there's a potential that logs have been saved to a location that others can view.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

- Which versions of renovate are affected by GHSA-36RH-GGPR-J3GJ? renovate (npm) versions >= 19.180.0, < 23.25.1 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-36RH-GGPR-J3GJ? Yes. GHSA-36RH-GGPR-J3GJ is fixed in 23.25.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-36RH-GGPR-J3GJ exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-36RH-GGPR-J3GJ is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether GHSA-36RH-GGPR-J3GJ is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
