Summary

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. The API server does not enforce project sourceNamespaces which allows attackers to use the UI to edit resources which should only be mutable via gitops. This vulenrability is fixed in 2.10.7, 2.9.12, and 2.8.16.

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
