CVE-2026-77459

CriticalCVSS 9.9
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Argo CD from 2.10.0 until 3.3.15, 3.4.10, 3.5.4, and 3.6.0-rc2 creates PostDelete resource hooks without applying the AppProject destination and resource authorization checks used during ordinary synchronization. A user who can write to an Application's Git repository can commit a delete hook targeting a forbidden namespace, server, group, kind, or resource name, and deletion of the Application causes the application-controller to create that resource with its destination-cluster credentials. This issue is fixed in versions 3.3.15, 3.4.10, 3.5.4, and 3.6.0-rc2.

Risk Assessment

A user with write access to a Git repository can bypass AppProject policies and create unauthorized resources in the cluster, including cluster-scoped resources, violating the multi-tenancy model and cluster security.

Recommendation

Upgrade Argo CD to version 3.3.15, 3.4.10, 3.5.4, or 3.6.0-rc2 (or later) and restrict write access to application repositories.

Original NVD description (English source)

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. From 2.10.0 until 3.3.15, 3.4.10, 3.5.4, and 3.6.0-rc2, Argo CD creates PostDelete resource hooks without applying the AppProject destination and resource authorization checks used during ordinary synchronization. The omitted checks include cluster-scoped and namespaced resource allow/deny lists. A user who can write to an Application's Git repository can commit a delete hook targeting a forbidden namespace, server, group, kind, or resource name, and deletion of the Application causes the application-controller to create that resource with its destination-cluster credentials. The reachable impact is bounded by the controller's cluster access but can include cluster-scoped resources, disallowed namespaces, persistent hook objects, and secondary objects created by a hook Job. PreSync, Sync, PostSync, and SyncFail hooks continue to use the normal project checks. This issue is fixed in versions 3.3.15, 3.4.10, 3.5.4, and 3.6.0-rc2.
