SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2, github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v3 (GHSA-g88p-r42r-ppp9)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435465

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. Versions between 2.1.0 and
 2.14.19, 3.2.0-rc1, 3.1.0-rc1 through 3.1.7, and 3.0.0-rc1 through 3.0.18 contain a race condition in the
 repository credentials handler that can cause the Argo CD server to panic and crash when concurrent
 operations are performed on the same repository URL. The vulnerability is located in numerous repository
 related handlers in the util/db/repository_secrets.go file. A valid API token with repositories resource
 permissions (create, update, or delete actions) is required to trigger the race condition. This
 vulnerability causes the entire Argo CD server to crash and become unavailable. Attackers can repeatedly
 and continuously trigger the race condition to maintain a denial-of-service state, disrupting all GitOps
 operations. This issue is fixed in versions 2.14.20, 3.2.0-rc2, 3.1.8 and 3.0.19. (CVE-2025-55191)
