Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-40029 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.6.15, 2.7.14, 2.8.3\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.6.15\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.6.15\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.7.0; fixed in 2.7.14\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.7.0; fixed in 2.7.14\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.8.0; fixed in 2.8.3\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.8.0; fixed in 2.8.3\n- argo-cd (Bitnami): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.6.15, 2.7.14, 2.8.3\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-2023-40029/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40029/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40029","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40029/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40029","record":{"aliases":["BIT-argo-cd-2023-40029","GHSA-fwr2-64vr-xv9m","GO-2023-2049"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kubernetes CD tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers with cluster read access can view sensitive cluster secret data exposed via Kubernetes annotations in Argo CD.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"argo_cd","vendor":"argoproj"}],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-532","name":"Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File"},{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Argo CD is a declarative continuous deployment for Kubernetes. Argo CD Cluster secrets might be managed declaratively using Argo CD / kubectl apply. As a result, the full secret body is stored in`kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration` annotation. pull request #7139 introduced the ability to manage cluster labels and annotations. Since clusters are stored as secrets it also exposes the `kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration` annotation which includes full secret body. In order to view the cluster annotations via the Argo CD API, the user must have `clusters, get` RBAC access. **Note:** In many cases, cluster secrets do not contain any actually-secret information. But sometimes, as in bearer-token auth, the contents might be very sensitive. The bug has been patched in versions 2.8.3, 2.7.14, and 2.6.15. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should update/deploy cluster secret with `server-side-apply` flag which does not use or rely on `kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration` annotation. Note: annotation for existing secrets will require manual removal.","ecosystems":["Bitnami","Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-01-25","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-01-25T06:06:27Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/guobei233/CVE-2023-40029","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2023-40029 git"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cluster secret might leak in cluster details page in Argo CD","id":"CVE-2023-40029","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"argoproj:argo_cd","products":["argoproj:argo_cd"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2023"},"n_packages":9,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Malicious dependencies can inject arbitrary JavaScript into cargo-generated timing reports","id":"CVE-2023-40030"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["2.6.15","2.7.14","2.8.3"],"introduced":["2.2.0","2.7.0","2.8.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"argo-cd","purl":"pkg:bitnami/argo-cd","source":"BIT-argo-cd-2023-40029"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd","source":"GO-2023-2049"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.6.15","2.7.14","2.8.3"],"introduced":["2.2.0","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-2023-2049"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.6.15"],"introduced":["2.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fwr2-64vr-xv9m"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.6.15"],"introduced":["2.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GHSA-fwr2-64vr-xv9m"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.7.14"],"introduced":["2.7.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fwr2-64vr-xv9m"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.7.14"],"introduced":["2.7.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GHSA-fwr2-64vr-xv9m"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.8.3"],"introduced":["2.8.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fwr2-64vr-xv9m"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.8.3"],"introduced":["2.8.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GHSA-fwr2-64vr-xv9m"}],"prev":{"headline":"Arbitrary file read via symlinks in Ghost","id":"CVE-2023-40028"},"products":["argo-cd"],"published":"2023-09-07","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":"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":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-26","vendors":["argoproj"]},"summary":"Attackers with cluster read access can view sensitive cluster secret data exposed via Kubernetes annotations in Argo CD.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40029/"}
