Once exploited, any user with read access to Argo CD can view the exposed secret data.\n\n### Patches\nA patch for this vulnerability is available in the following Argo CD versions:\n- v2.13.4\n- v2.12.10\n- v2.11.13\n\n### Workarounds\nThere is no workaround other than upgrading.\n\n### References\nFixed with commit https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/commit/6f5537bdf15ddbaa0f27a1a678632ff0743e4107 & https://github.com/argoproj/gitops-engine/commit/7e21b91e9d0f64104c8a661f3f390c5e6d73ddca\n\n## Affected packages\n\n- `github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 >= 2.13.0, < 2.13.4`\n- `github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 >= 2.12.0, < 2.12.10`\n- `github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 < 2.11.13`\n- `github.com/argoproj/argo-cd <= 1.8.7`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade to a patched release:\n\n- `github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 2.13.4`\n- `github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 2.12.10`\n- `github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 2.11.13`","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":37,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":37.4,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
