What is CVE-2024-52814?
CVE-2024-52814 is a low-severity missing authorization vulnerability in argoproj argo-helm, published on 22 Nov 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
Argo Helm is a collection of community maintained charts for `argoproj.github.io` projects. Prior to version 0.45.0, the `workflow-role`) lacks granularity in its privileges, giving permissions to `workflowtasksets` and `workflowartifactgctasks` to all workflow Pods, when only certain types of Pods created by the Controller require these privileges. The impact is minimal, as an attack could only affect status reporting for certain types of Pods and templates. Version 0.45.0 fixes the issue.
Weakness: CWE-1220
