Helm: Memory Exhaustion Vulnerability

In Helm versions prior to 3.17.3 a medium severity vulnerability CVE-2025-32386 was detected. This vulnerability allows attackers to craft a chart archive file that expands significantly when uncompressed (e.g., >800x the compressed size), and when Helm loads this specially crafted chart, it can cause memory exhaustion, leading to the termination of the application. To address this issue, users should upgrade Helm to version 3.17.3. For more details, visit https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-32386.
