SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416399
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. All versions of ArgoCD starting
from v2.4 have a bug where the ArgoCD repo-server component is vulnerable to a Denial-of-Service attack
vector. Specifically, it's possible to crash the repo server component through an out of memory error by
pointing it to a malicious Helm registry. The loadRepoIndex() function in the ArgoCD's helm package, does
not limit the size nor time while fetching the data. It fetches it and creates a byte slice from the
retrieved data in one go. If the registry is implemented to push data continuously, the repo server will
keep allocating memory until it runs out of it. A patch for this vulnerability has been released in
v2.10.3, v2.9.8, and v2.8.12. (CVE-2024-29893)
