SCA: security update for github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v4 (GHSA-xchc-cqwg-g76q)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441122

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. From version 4.0.0 to before version 4.0.5, the Sync Service's ConfigMap-backed provider
 (server/sync/sync_cm.go) performs zero authorization checks on all CRUD operations (create, read, update,
 delete). Any authenticated user — including those using fake Bearer tokens — can create, read, update, and
 delete Kubernetes ConfigMaps containing synchronization limits. This issue has been patched in version
 4.0.5. (CVE-2026-42297)

Solution

Update the github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v4 library and its related packages to version 4.0.5 or later.
