๐Ÿ“„ View Raw Release Notes (Original Developer Log)
Helm v3.6.1 is a security (patch) release. Users are strongly recommended to update to this release. While working on the Helm source, a Helm core maintainer discovered a situation where the username and password credentials associated with a Helm repository could be passed on to another domain referenced by that Helm repository. More information can be found in [the security advisory](https://github.com/helm/helm/security/advisories/GHSA-56hp-xqp3-w2jf). Note: if updating to v3.6.1 causes issues downloading charts from password protected repositories it may mean the charts are being served from a different domain than the repository. If you trust the other domain to receive the credentials and want to pass the credentials to that domain name you can use the new `--pass-credentials` flag. This flag works with `helm repo add` as well as commands that accept the `--repo` flag.
