Descriptions

As of v1.5.0, the default admin password is set to the argocd-server pod name. For insiders with access to the cluster or logs, this issue could be abused for privilege escalation, as Argo has privileged roles. A malicious insider is the most realistic threat, but pod names are not meant to be kept secret and could wind up just about anywhere.

A partir de la versión v1.5.0, la contraseña de administrador predeterminada es establecida en el nombre del pod argocd-server. Para los iniciados con acceso al clúster o los registros, este problema podría ser abusado para una escalada de privilegios, ya que Argo posee roles privilegiados. Un empleado interno malicioso es la amenaza más realista, pero los nombres de pod no deben mantenerse en secreto y podrían terminar en cualquier lugar.
