SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (GHSA-9766-5277-j5hr)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413096

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. It has been discovered that an
unprivileged pod in a different namespace on the same cluster could connect to the Redis server on port
6379. Despite having installed the latest version of the VPC CNI plugin on the EKS cluster, it requires
manual enablement through configuration to enforce network policies. This raises concerns that many
clients might unknowingly have open access to their Redis servers. This vulnerability could lead to
Privilege Escalation to the level of cluster controller, or to information leakage, affecting anyone who
does not have strict access controls on their Redis instance. This issue has been patched in version(s)
2.8.19, 2.9.15 and 2.10.10. (CVE-2024-31989)
