CVE-2026-29049 Details
Description
melange allows users to build apk packages using declarative pipelines. In version 0.40.5 and prior, melange update-cache downloads URIs from build configs via io.Copy without any size limit or HTTP client timeout (pkg/renovate/cache/cache.go). An attacker-controlled URI in a melange config can cause unbounded disk writes, exhausting disk on the build runne. Version 0.43.4 contains a patch.
A vulnerability exists in Melange versions through 0.40.5, allowing unbounded disk writes via the 'update-cache' function. This occurs because the function downloads URIs from build configurations without any size limit or HTTP client timeout. An attacker can exploit this by inserting a controlled URI into the Melange config, leading to excessive disk usage on the build runner.
