SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2, github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v3 (GHSA-f9gq-prrc-hrhc)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435464

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 1.2.0 through 1.8.7,
2.0.0-rc1 through 2.14.19, 3.0.0-rc1 through 3.2.0-rc1, 3.1.7 and 3.0.18 are vulnerable to malicious API
requests which can crash the API server and cause denial of service to legitimate clients. Without a
configured webhook.bitbucketserver.secret, Argo CD's /api/webhook endpoint crashes when receiving a
malformed Bitbucket Server payload (non-array repository.links.clone field). A single unauthenticated
request triggers CrashLoopBackOff, and targeting all replicas causes complete API outage. This issue is
fixed in versions 2.14.20, 3.2.0-rc2, 3.1.8 and 3.0.19. (CVE-2025-59531)
