Summary

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. Versions 1.2.0 through 1.8.7, 2.0.0-rc1 through 2.14.19, 3.0.0-rc1 through 3.2.0-rc1, 3.1.7 and 3.0.18 are vulnerable to malicious API requests which can crash the API server and cause denial of service to legitimate clients. Without a configured webhook.bitbucketserver.secret, Argo CD's /api/webhook endpoint crashes when receiving a malformed Bitbucket Server payload (non-array repository.links.clone field). A single unauthenticated request triggers CrashLoopBackOff, and targeting all replicas causes complete API outage. This issue is fixed in versions 2.14.20, 3.2.0-rc2, 3.1.8 and 3.0.19.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can cause all replicas of the Argo CD server to crash, leading to complete API unavailability and disruption of continuous delivery. This can paralyze deployment and operational processes.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade Argo CD to version 2.14.20, 3.2.0-rc2, 3.1.8, or 3.0.19. If an upgrade is not possible, configure webhook.bitbucketserver.secret to prevent exploitation of the vulnerability.
