CVE-2024-31990

Medium
6.3/10

Summary

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. The API server does not enforce project "sourceNamespaces" which allows attackers to use the UI to edit resources which should only be mutable via "gitops". This vulnerability affects github.com/argoproj/argo-cd package versions 2.4.0-rc1 through 2.8.15, 2.9.0-rc1 through 2.9.11, 2.10.0-rc1 through 2.10.6 and 2.11.0-rc1.

CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

Authorization is a security mechanism performed by an application to grant or deny access to the requested resources by verifying the privileges of the user. When an application lacks effective authorization mechanisms, it enables unauthorized users to gain unintended privileges and illegitimate access to resources. Such a vulnerability may result in exposure of sensitive information, denial of service, arbitrary code execution, and complete system takeover.
