SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (GHSA-6v85-wr92-q4p7)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411629

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. Prior to versions 2.8.13, 2.9.9,
 and 2.10.4, an attacker can exploit a critical flaw in the application to initiate a Denial of Service
 (DoS) attack, rendering the application inoperable and affecting all users. The issue arises from unsafe
 manipulation of an array in a multi-threaded environment. The vulnerability is rooted in the application's
 code, where an array is being modified while it is being iterated over. This is a classic programming
 error but becomes critically unsafe when executed in a multi-threaded environment. When two threads
 interact with the same array simultaneously, the application crashes. This is a Denial of Service (DoS)
 vulnerability. Any attacker can crash the application continuously, making it impossible for legitimate
 users to access the service. The issue is exacerbated because it does not require authentication, widening
 the pool of potential attackers. Versions 2.8.13, 2.9.9, and 2.10.4 contain a patch for this issue.
 (CVE-2024-21661)
