medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420573

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. A vulnerability was found in
 Argo CD prior to versions 2.3.4, 2.2.9, and 2.1.15 that allows an attacker to spoof error messages on the
 login screen when single sign on (SSO) is enabled. In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker
 would have to trick the victim to visit a specially crafted URL which contains the message to be
 displayed. As far as the research of the Argo CD team concluded, it is not possible to specify any active
 content (e.g. Javascript) or other HTML fragments (e.g. clickable links) in the spoofed message. A patch
 for this vulnerability has been released in Argo CD versions 2.3.4, 2.2.9, and 2.1.15. There are currently
 no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-24905)
