CVE-2024-31989: ArgoCD Vulnerable to Use of Risky or Missing Cryptographic Algorithms in Redis Cache

CriticalCVSS 9.0 · v3.1—Proof of concept Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 36/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.4% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 74.2% of all records.
  • Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go) 2.10.10, 2.11.1, 2.9.15.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go) 2.10.10, 2.11.1, 2.9.15 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. It has been discovered that an unprivileged pod in a different namespace on the same cluster could connect to the Redis server on port 6379. Despite having installed the latest version of the VPC CNI plugin on the EKS cluster, it requires manual enablement through configuration to enforce network policies. This raises concerns that many clients might unknowingly have open access to their Redis servers. This vulnerability could lead to Privilege Escalation to the level of cluster controller, or to information leakage, affecting anyone who does not have strict access controls on their Redis instance. This issue has been patched in version(s) 2.8.19, 2.9.15 and 2.10.10.
