SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-events (GHSA-hmp7-x699-cvhq)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 434625

Description

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

- Argo Events is an event-driven workflow automation framework for Kubernetes. A user with permission to
create/modify EventSource and Sensor custom resources can gain privileged access to the host system and
cluster, even without having direct administrative privileges. The EventSource and Sensor CRs allow the
corresponding orchestrated pod to be customized with spec.template and spec.template.container (with type
k8s.io/api/core/v1.Container), thus, any specification under container such as command, args,
securityContext , volumeMount can be specified, and applied to the EventSource or Sensor pod. With these,
a user would be able to gain privileged access to the cluster host, if he/she specified the
EventSource/Sensor CR with some particular properties under template. This vulnerability is fixed in
v1.9.6. (CVE-2025-32445)
