Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-29893 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.10.0; fixed in 2.10.5\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.10.0; fixed in 2.10.5\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.8.14, 2.9.10, 2.10.5\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.8.14\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.8.14\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.9.0; fixed in 2.9.10\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 (Go): affected from 2.9.0; fixed in 2.9.10\n- argo-cd (Bitnami): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.10.5\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-2024-29893/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-29893/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-29893","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-29893/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-29893","record":{"aliases":["BIT-argo-cd-2024-29893","GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3","GO-2024-2667"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ArgoCD GitOps tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can crash the ArgoCD repo server by pointing it to a malicious Helm registry that exhausts memory, requiring a patch to mitigate.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"argo_cd","vendor":"argoproj"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. All versions of ArgoCD starting from v2.4 have a bug where the ArgoCD repo-server component is vulnerable to a Denial-of-Service attack vector. Specifically,  it's possible to crash the repo server component through an out of memory error by pointing it to a malicious Helm registry. The loadRepoIndex() function in the ArgoCD's helm package, does not limit the size nor time while fetching the data. It fetches it and creates a byte slice from the retrieved data in one go. If the registry is implemented to push data continuously, the repo server will keep allocating memory until it runs out of it. A patch for this vulnerability has been released in v2.10.3, v2.9.8, and v2.8.12.","ecosystems":["Bitnami","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":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in ArgoCD's repo server","id":"CVE-2024-29893","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"argoproj:argo_cd","products":["argoproj:argo_cd"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2024"},"n_packages":8,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Cacti Cross-site Scripting vulnerability when using JavaScript based messaging API","id":"CVE-2024-29894"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["2.10.5"],"introduced":["2.4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"argo-cd","purl":"pkg:bitnami/argo-cd","source":"BIT-argo-cd-2024-29893"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.10.5"],"introduced":["2.10.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.10.5"],"introduced":["2.10.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.8.14","2.9.10","2.10.5"],"introduced":["2.4.0","2.9.0","2.10.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GO-2024-2667"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.8.14"],"introduced":["2.4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.8.14"],"introduced":["2.4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.9.10"],"introduced":["2.9.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.9.10"],"introduced":["2.9.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","source":"GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3"}],"prev":{"headline":"ZITADEL's actions can overload reserved claims","id":"CVE-2024-29892"},"products":["argo-cd"],"published":"2024-03-29","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":"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["argoproj"]},"summary":"Attackers can crash the ArgoCD repo server by pointing it to a malicious Helm registry that exhausts memory, requiring a patch to mitigate.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-29893/"}
