CVE-2024-32476: Denial of Service via malicious jqPathExpressions in ignoreDifferences

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 62.7% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet 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) 2.10.8, 2.9.13, 2.8.17.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go) 2.10.8, 2.9.13, 2.8.17 or later.

Root cause

Code that parses nested structures sets no depth or size limit. A small input can turn into a disproportionate processing load.
