SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (GHSA-v8wx-v5jq-qhhw)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419208

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 has a Web-based terminal
that allows users to get a shell inside a running pod, just as they would with kubectl exec. Starting in
version 2.6.0, when the administrator enables this function and grants permission to the user `p,
role:myrole, exec, create, */*, allow`, even if the user revokes this permission, the user can still
perform operations in the container, as long as the user keeps the terminal view open for a long time.
Although the token expiration and revocation of the user are fixed, however, the fix does not address the
situation of revocation of only user `p, role:myrole, exec, create, */*, allow` permissions, which may
still lead to the leakage of sensitive information. A patch for this vulnerability has been released in
Argo CD versions 2.11.7, 2.10.16, and 2.9.21. (CVE-2024-41666)
