SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (GHSA-6gcg-hp2x-q54h)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411431

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. Argo CD starting with version
 0.7.0 and prior to versions 2.1.15m 2.2.9, and 2.3.4 is vulnerable to a symlink following bug allowing a
 malicious user with repository write access to leak sensitive files from Argo CD's repo-server. A
 malicious Argo CD user with write access for a repository which is (or may be) used in a directory-type
 Application may commit a symlink which points to an out-of-bounds file. Sensitive files which could be
 leaked include manifest files from other Applications' source repositories (potentially decrypted files,
 if you are using a decryption plugin) or any JSON-formatted secrets which have been mounted as files on
 the repo-server. A patch for this vulnerability has been released in Argo CD versions 2.3.4, 2.2.9, and
 2.1.15. Users of versions 2.3.0 or above who do not have any Jsonnet/directory-type Applications may
 disable the Jsonnet/directory config management tool as a workaround. (CVE-2022-24904)
