Descriptions

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. Due to the improper URL protocols filtering of links specified in the `link.argocd.argoproj.io` annotations in the application summary component, an attacker can achieve cross-site scripting with elevated permissions. All unpatched versions of Argo CD starting with v1.0.0 are vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) bug allowing a malicious user to inject a javascript: link in the UI. When clicked by a victim user, the script will execute with the victim's permissions (up to and including admin). This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim via the API, such as creating, modifying, and deleting Kubernetes resources. A patch for this vulnerability has been released in Argo CD versions v2.10.3 v2.9.8, and v2.8.12. There are no completely-safe workarounds besides upgrading. The safest alternative, if upgrading is not possible, would be to create a Kubernetes admission controller to reject any resources with an annotation starting with link.argocd.argoproj.io or reject the resource if the value use an improper URL protocol. This validation will need to be applied in all clusters managed by ArgoCD.

Argo CD es una herramienta declarativa de entrega continua de GitOps para Kubernetes. Debido al filtrado inadecuado de los protocolos URL de los enlaces especificados en las anotaciones `link.argocd.argoproj.io` en el componente de resumen de la aplicación, un atacante puede lograr Cross Site Scripting con permisos elevados. Todas las versiones sin parches de Argo CD que comienzan con v1.0.0 son vulnerables a un error de Cross Site Scripting (XSS) que permite a un usuario malintencionado inyectar un enlace javascript: en la interfaz de usuario. Cuando un usuario víctima hace clic en él, el script se ejecutará con los permisos de la víctima (hasta administrador incluido). Esta vulnerabilidad permite a un atacante realizar acciones arbitrarias en nombre de la víctima a través de la API, como crear, modificar y eliminar recursos de Kubernetes. Se lanzó un parche para esta vulnerabilidad en las versiones de Argo CD v2.10.3 v2.9.8 y v2.8.12. No existen soluciones alternativas completamente seguras además de actualizar. La alternativa más segura, si no es posible la actualización, sería crear un controlador de admisión de Kubernetes para rechazar cualquier recurso con una anotación que comience con link.argocd.argoproj.io o rechazar el recurso si el valor utiliza un protocolo URL inadecuado. Esta validación deberá aplicarse en todos los clústeres gestionados por ArgoCD.

A flaw was found in Argo CD. Due to improper filtering of URL protocols in the application summary component, a remote attacker can execute a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack with privileges to edit the application.
