Summary

Argo CD versions 2.9.0-rc1 through 2.14.19, 3.0.0-rc1 through 3.2.0-rc1, 3.1.6 and 3.0.17 have a vulnerability where, when webhook.azuredevops.username and webhook.azuredevops.password are not set in the default configuration, the /api/webhook endpoint crashes the entire argocd-server process when it receives an Azure DevOps Push event whose JSON array resource.refUpdates is empty. The slice index [0] is accessed without a length check, causing an index-out-of-range panic. A single unauthenticated HTTP POST is enough to kill the process. This issue is resolved in versions 2.14.20, 3.2.0-rc2, 3.1.8 and 3.0.19.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can crash the Argo CD server with a single HTTP request, leading to disruption of continuous delivery and potential outages in the Kubernetes environment.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade Argo CD to version 2.14.20, 3.2.0-rc2, 3.1.8, or 3.0.19, which contain the fix.
