Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-31036 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.16, 2.2.10, 2.3.5, 2.4.1\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.16\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.16\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.2.10\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.2.10\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.5\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.5\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.1\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.1\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd (Go): affected from 1.3.0; no fix listed\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd (Go): affected from 1.3.0; fixed in 2.1.16\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd (Go): affected from 1.3.0; fixed in 2.1.16\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31036/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31036/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-31036","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31036/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-31036","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q4w5-4gq2-98vm","GO-2022-0499"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Argo CD GitOps tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malicious user with repository write access can use symlinks to leak sensitive YAML files from the Argo CD repo-server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"argo_cd","vendor":"argoproj"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"},{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. All versions of Argo CD starting with v1.3.0 are vulnerable to a symlink following bug allowing a malicious user with repository write access to leak sensitive YAML files from Argo CD's repo-server. A malicious Argo CD user with write access for a repository which is (or may be) used in a Helm-type Application may commit a symlink which points to an out-of-bounds file. If the target file is a valid YAML file, the attacker can read the contents of that file. Sensitive files which could be leaked include manifest files from other Applications' source repositories (potentially decrypted files, if you are using a decryption plugin) or any YAML-formatted secrets which have been mounted as files on the repo-server. Patches for this vulnerability has been released in the following Argo CD versions: v2.4.1, v2.3.5, v2.2.10 and v2.1.16. If you are using a version \u003e=v2.3.0 and do not have any Helm-type Applications you may disable the Helm config management tool as a workaround.","ecosystems":["Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Symlink
