From versions 3.2.0 to before 3.2.11 and 3.3.0 to before 3.3.9, there is a missing authorization and data-masking gap in Argo CD's ServerSideDiff endpoint that allows an attacker with read-only access to extract plaintext Kubernetes Secret data from etcd via the Kubernetes API server's Server-Side Apply dry-run mechanism. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.11 and 3.3.9.", "A flaw was found in Argo CD, a GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. A missing authorization and data-masking gap in the ServerSideDiff endpoint allows an attacker with read-only access to extract sensitive Kubernetes Secret data. This information disclosure occurs by leveraging the Kubernetes API server's Server-Side Apply dry-run mechanism, potentially exposing critical configuration and credentials." ],
