⏺ I'll analyze your Go codebase for CVE-2025-53547. Let me start by gathering information about this vulnerability and then checking if your code is affected.
⏺ Fetch(https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-53547)
⎿ Received 67.3KB (200 OK)
⏺ Fetch(https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2025-53547)
⎿ Received 524 bytes (301 Moved Permanently)
⏺ Fetch(https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-53547)
⎿ Received 861 bytes (200 OK)
⏺ Fetch(https://github.com/helm/helm/security/advisories/GHSA-557j-xg8c-q2mm)
⎿ Received 192.5KB (200 OK)
⏺ Good! I've gathered comprehensive information about CVE-2025-53547. Now let me analyze your codebase to determine if it's affected.
⏺ Read(go.mod)
⎿ Read 305 lines
⏺ Bash(go list -m all | grep -i helm)
⎿ go: can't compute 'all' using the vendor directory
(Use -mod=mod or -mod=readonly to bypass.)
⏺ Bash(go list -mod=mod -m all | grep -i helm)
⎿ helm.sh/helm/v3 v3.17.3
⏺ Perfect! I can see that your codebase uses helm.sh/helm/v3 v3.17.3, which is vulnerable to CVE-2025-53547. Now let me perform deeper analysis to check if the vulnerable code is
actually being used.
⏺ Bash(command -v govulncheck)
⎿ /Users/ckyal/go/bin/govulncheck
⏺ Search(pattern: "helm\.sh/helm/v3", glob: "*.go")
⎿ Found 115 files (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Excellent! I can see Helm is extensively used in this codebase. Now let me run govulncheck to get a comprehensive vulnerability analysis, and then search for specific usage of the
vulnerable functionality.
⏺ Bash(mkdir -p .work/compliance/analyse-cve/CVE-2025-53547)
⎿ (No content)
⏺ Bash(govulncheck -json ./... 2>&1 | tee .work/compliance/analyse-cve/CVE-2025-53547/govulncheck-output.json)
⎿ {
"config": {
"protocol_version": "v1.0.0",
… +16 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ The govulncheck scan has an issue with C dependencies. Let me try an alternative approach and search for specific usage of the vulnerable Helm dependency management functionality.
⏺ Search(pattern: "downloader\.Manager|dependency\.Update|Chart\.lock", path: "internal", glob: "*.go", output_mode: "content")
⎿ Found 1 line (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Bash(go list -mod=mod -json -m helm.sh/helm/v3 | grep -E '(Version|Path|Replace)')
⎿ "Path": "helm.sh/helm/v3"
"Version": "v3.17.3",
"GoVersion": "1.23.0",
⏺ Perfect! I found a critical usage of the vulnerable code. Let me examine that file more closely:
⏺ Read(internal/plugins/helm/v1/chartutil/chart.go)
⎿ Read 25 lines
⏺ This is critical! The code directly uses downloader.Manager and calls man.Build() which is the vulnerable function mentioned in the CVE. Let me search for where this function is
called:
⏺ Search(pattern: "fetchChartDependencies", path: "~/go/src/github.com/chiragkyal/ocp-release-operator-sdk", glob: "*.go", output_mode: "content")
⎿ Found 2 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Read(internal/plugins/helm/v1/chartutil/chart.go)
⎿ Read 50 lines
⏺ Let me find where this is called from and check the call chain:
⏺ Read(internal/plugins/helm/v1/chartutil/chart.go)
⎿ Read 35 lines
⏺ Search(pattern: "CreateChart", path: "internal", glob: "*.go")
⎿ Found 0 files
⏺ Search(pattern: "ScaffoldChart", path: "internal", glob: "*.go", output_mode: "content")
⎿ Found 4 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Bash(command -v callgraph)
⎿ /Users/ckyal/go/bin/callgraph
⏺ Perfect! Now let me check the API scaffolding usage:
⏺ Read(internal/plugins/helm/v1/scaffolds/api.go)
⎿ Read 30 lines
⏺ Now I have enough evidence. Let me complete the analysis and generate the comprehensive report:
⏺ Write(.work/compliance/analyse-cve/CVE-2025-53547/report.md)
⎿ Wrote 579 lines to .work/compliance/analyse-cve/CVE-2025-53547/report.md

12-14: Fix markdown code block language specifications.The fenced code blocks are missing language identifiers, which improves readability and enables syntax highlighting. Lines 12, 72, and 78 should specify the language (e.g.,
```bashor```for plain output).Apply these diffs to add language specifiers:
**Example:** -``` +```bash /compliance:analyze-cve CVE-2024-24783 -``` +```bash### Basic usage -``` +```bash /compliance:analyze-cve CVE-2024-24783 -``` +```bash### High-confidence analysis -``` +```bash /compliance:analyze-cve CVE-2024-45338 -``` +```bashAlso applies to: 72-74, 78-86
plugins/compliance/commands/analyze-cve.md (1)
10-12: Fix markdown formatting issues: bare URLs and missing language specifiers.Several markdown linting issues should be addressed:
- Bare URLs (lines 37, 41, 46): Wrap URLs in markdown link syntax
[text](URL)for better readability and consistency.- Missing language specifiers on fenced code blocks (lines 10, 217, 300, 451): Add language identifiers like
```bashor```shellto enable syntax highlighting.Example fixes:
- **NVD**: Search for "CVE-{ID} site:nvd.nist.gov" - - URL pattern: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/{CVE-ID} + - URL pattern: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/{CVE-ID} (replace {CVE-ID})## Synopsis -``` +```bash /compliance:analyze-cve <CVE-ID> -``` +```bash**If searches fail or return insufficient results**: - - Request user input for any known fixes or workarounds - - Accept partial information and document gaps -For bare URLs, consider using standard markdown link format:
[URL text](https://example.com)instead of plainhttps://example.com.Also applies to: 37-37, 41-41, 46-46, 217-217, 300-300, 451-451

1-8: Plugin manifest looks good.The JSON structure is well-formed and all required fields are properly populated. Metadata aligns with other plugin entries.
PLUGINS.md (1)
7-7: Plugin index entry is well-structured and consistent.The new Compliance plugin entry maintains alphabetical ordering in the TOC and follows the established format for all plugin documentation. Description and command syntax align with other metadata files.
Also applies to: 42-49
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json (1)
72-76: Marketplace entry properly configured.The new plugin entry is correctly positioned with valid JSON formatting, appropriate source path, and consistent metadata.
docs/data.json (1)
395-409: Plugin metadata entry is complete and consistent.All required fields are present with correct formatting. The command metadata (synopsis, argument_hint) aligns with documentation files, and the structure matches the existing plugin metadata pattern.
plugins/compliance/commands/analyze-cve.md (4)
25-106: CVE Intelligence Gathering phase is thorough and well-documented.The multi-source lookup strategy with fallback handling is practical. The distinction between primary sources (NVD, MITRE), Go-specific sources, and general Go security resources is well-structured. The fallback mode for handling lookup failures is a good user experience consideration.
123-238: Codebase Impact Analysis is well-designed with progressive confidence levels.The five-level verification approach (presence → imports → scanner → call graph → context) provides pragmatic depth and clear confidence assessment. Call graph reachability analysis offers the highest confidence, and the alternative methods are appropriate fallbacks. The distinction between confidence levels is clearly explained.
274-358: Report generation and evidence collection are comprehensive.Clear section structure, evidence categorization, and the requirement to distinguish between verified sources and user-provided information are good practices. Markdown formatting guidance (badges, code blocks, links) helps ensure consistent, readable output.
359-431: Remediation guidance and fix application workflow are well-structured.The distinction between affected/not-affected paths, preference for project Makefiles over standard Go commands, and the explicit user approval step for automatic fixes are all good security and UX practices. The verification steps (with fallback to standard Go commands) and post-fix validation are thorough.

37-37: Wrap bare URLs in markdown link syntax or inline code.Lines 37, 41, and 46 contain bare URLs that should be wrapped for markdown compliance. Use either:
- Markdown link format:
[description](url)- Inline code format:
`url`Example fix for line 37:
- - **NVD**: Search for "CVE-{ID} site:nvd.nist.gov" + - **NVD**: Search for "CVE-{ID} site:nvd.nist.gov" - - URL pattern: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/{CVE-ID} + - URL pattern: [`https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/{CVE-ID}`](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/{CVE-ID})Apply similar fixes to lines 41 and 46.
Also applies to: 41-41, 46-46
10-12: Add language identifiers to all fenced code blocks.Markdown linting requires language specifiers on code blocks:
-``` +```bash /compliance:analyze-cve <CVE-ID> -```Apply similar fixes to other code blocks:
- Lines 154-160, 451-453: Use
bash(shell commands)- Lines 217-219, 300-306: Use
plaintextortext(output examples)Also applies to: 154-160, 217-219, 300-306, 451-453
23-511: Consider separating implementation guide from command documentation.The implementation phases (lines 23–511) provide extensive guidance that exceeds typical command documentation scope. This valuable detail might be better positioned as:
- Inline code comments in the actual implementation
- A separate implementation guide or ADR
- Developer-focused documentation distinct from user-facing docs
That said, given the complexity of CVE analysis, keeping this reference here is reasonable if intended as a deep implementation reference. The structure and clarity are excellent.

1-511: Comprehensive implementation guide with sound methodology.The documentation thoroughly describes the CVE analysis workflow, verification methods, confidence framework, and remediation process. The five-phase approach (Intelligence Gathering → Codebase Analysis → Report Generation → Remediation → Fix Application) is well-structured and aligns with the PR objectives. The confidence level framework provides clear decision criteria, and fallback modes appropriately handle offline/unreliable scenarios.
Markdown linting issues (bare URLs, missing code block language identifiers) should be addressed before merge.
