SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-cd (GHSA-h6h5-6fmq-rh28)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415524

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
 1.5.0 but before versions 2.1.11, 2.2.6, and 2.3.0 is vulnerable to a path traversal vulnerability,
 allowing a malicious user with read/write access to leak sensitive files from Argo CD's repo-server. A
 malicious Argo CD user who has been granted `create` or `update` access to Applications can leak the
 contents of any text file on the repo-server. By crafting a malicious Helm chart and using it in an
 Application, the attacker can retrieve the sensitive file's contents either as part of the generated
 manifests or in an error message. The attacker would have to know or guess the location of the target
 file. Sensitive files which could be leaked include files from another Application's source repositories
 or any secrets which have been mounted as files on the repo-server. This vulnerability is patched in Argo
 CD versions 2.1.11, 2.2.6, and 2.3.0. The problem can be mitigated by avoiding storing secrets in git,
 avoiding mounting secrets as files on the repo-server, avoiding decrypting secrets into files on the repo-
 server, and carefully limiting who can `create` or `update` Applications. (CVE-2022-24731)
