An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-40025 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.0.0-20230718200744-12a5a7a70d6e; fixed in 2.0.0-20230821201509-e047efa8f951\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.0.0-20230718200744-12a5a7a70d6e; fixed in 2.0.0-20230821201509-e047efa8f951\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.6.0; fixed in 2.6.14, 2.7.12, 2.8.1\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.6.0; fixed in 2.6.14\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.6.0; fixed in 2.6.14\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.7.0; fixed in 2.7.12\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.7.0; fixed in 2.7.12\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.8.0; fixed in 2.8.1\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.8.0; fixed in 2.8.1\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\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-2023-40025/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40025/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40025","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40025/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40025","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c8xw-vjgf-94hr","GO-2023-2018"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Argo CD","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can maintain active web terminal sessions after token expiration, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information in Argo CD.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"argo_cd","vendor":"argoproj"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-613","name":"DEPRECATED: Insufficient Session Expiration"}],"description":"Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. All versions of Argo CD starting from version 2.6.0 have a bug where open web terminal sessions do not expire. This bug allows users to send any websocket messages even if the token has already expired. The most straightforward scenario is when a user opens the terminal view and leaves it open for an extended period. This allows the user to view sensitive information even when they should have been logged out already. A patch for this vulnerability has been released in the following Argo CD versions: 2.6.14, 2.7.12 and 2.8.1.","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":"Argo CD web terminal session doesn't expire","id":"CVE-2023-40025","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":"argoproj:argo_cd","products":["argoproj:argo_cd"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2023"},"n_packages":10,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal allows leaking out-of-bound Helm charts from Argo CD repo-server","id":"CVE-2023-40026"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd","source":"GO-2023-2018"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.0.0-20230821201509-e047efa8f951"],"introduced":["2.0.0-20230718200744-12a5a7a70d6e"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-c8xw-vjgf-94hr"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.0.0-20230821201509-e047efa8f951"],"introduced":["2.0.0-20230718200744-12a5a7a70d6e"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GHSA-c8xw-vjgf-94hr"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.6.14","2.7.12","2.8.1"],"introduced":["2.6.0","2.7.0","2.8.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GO-2023-2018"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.6.14"],"introduced":["2.6.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-c8xw-vjgf-94hr"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.6.14"],"introduced":["2.6.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GHSA-c8xw-vjgf-94hr"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.7.12"],"introduced":["2.7.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-c8xw-vjgf-94hr"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.7.12"],"introduced":["2.7.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GHSA-c8xw-vjgf-94hr"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.8.1"],"introduced":["2.8.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-c8xw-vjgf-94hr"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.8.1"],"introduced":["2.8.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GHSA-c8xw-vjgf-94hr"}],"prev":{"headline":"Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in scancode.io license endpoint","id":"CVE-2023-40024"},"products":["argo-cd"],"published":"2023-08-23","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Argo CD: Project API Token Exposes Repository Credentials","id":"CVE-2025-55190","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Argo CD will blindly trust JWT claims if anonymous access is enabled","id":"CVE-2022-29165","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-20"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Cluster secret might leak in cluster details page in Argo CD","id":"CVE-2023-40029","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-07"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Improper access control allows admin privilege escalation in Argo CD","id":"CVE-2022-24768","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Argo CD vulnerable to Bypassing of Brute Force Protection via Application Crash and In-Memory Data Loss","id":"CVE-2024-21652","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-18"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"ArgoCD ServerSideDiff is vulnerable to Kubernetes Secret Extraction","id":"CVE-2026-42880","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-07"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Argo CD allows cross-site scripting on repositories page","id":"CVE-2025-47933","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-29"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-01","vendors":["argoproj"]},"summary":"Attackers can maintain active web terminal sessions after token expiration, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information in Argo CD.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40025/"}
