SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3 (GHSA-p84v-gxvw-73pf)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435614

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Argo Workflows is an open source container-native workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on
 Kubernetes. Versions prior to 3.6.12 and versions 3.7.0 through 3.7.2 contain a Zip Slip path traversal
 vulnerability in artifact extraction. During artifact extraction the unpack/untar logic
 (workflow/executor/executor.go) uses filepath.Join(dest, filepath.Clean(header.Name)) without validating
 that header.Name stays within the intended extraction directory. A malicious archive entry can supply a
 traversal or absolute path that, after cleaning, overrides the destination directory and causes files to
 be written outside the /work/tmp extraction path and into system directories such as /etc inside the
 container. The vulnerability enables arbitrary file creation or overwrite in system configuration
 locations (for example /etc/passwd, /etc/hosts, /etc/crontab), which can lead to privilege escalation or
 persistence within the affected container. Update to 3.6.12 or 3.7.3 to remediate the issue.
