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 chain of vulnerabilities, including a Denial of Service (DoS) flaw
 and in-memory data storage weakness, to effectively bypass the application's brute force login protection.
 This is a critical security vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass the brute force login protection
 mechanism. Not only can they crash the service affecting all users, but they can also make unlimited login
 attempts, increasing the risk of account compromise. Versions 2.8.13, 2.9.9, and 2.10.4 contain a patch
 for this issue. (CVE-2024-21652)
