An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-53862 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3 (Go): affected from 3.5.7; fixed in 3.5.13, 3.6.2\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3 (Go): affected from 3.5.7; fixed in 3.5.13\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3 (Go): affected from 3.5.7; fixed in 3.5.13\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3 (Go): affected from 3.6.0; fixed in 3.6.2\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3 (Go): affected from 3.6.0; fixed in 3.6.2\n- argo-workflows (Bitnami): affected from 3.5.7; fixed in 3.6.2\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v2 (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-2024-53862/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53862/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-53862","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53862/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-53862","record":{"aliases":["BIT-argo-workflows-2024-53862","GHSA-h36c-m3rf-34h9","GO-2024-3303","ROOT-APP-GOBINARY-CVE-2024-53862"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Kubernetes workflow engine","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can retrieve archived workflows using fake tokens in client mode due to missing authorization checks, exposing sensitive workflow data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"argo_workflows","vendor":"argoproj"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-290","name":"Authentication Bypass by Spoofing"},{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Argo Workflows is an open source container-native workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on Kubernetes. When using `--auth-mode=client`, Archived Workflows can be retrieved with a fake or spoofed token via the GET Workflow endpoint: `/api/v1/workflows/{namespace}/{name}` or when using `--auth-mode=sso`, all Archived Workflows can be retrieved with a valid token via the GET Workflow endpoint: `/api/v1/workflows/{namespace}/{name}`. No authentication is performed by the Server itself on `client` tokens. Authentication \u0026 authorization is instead delegated to the k8s API server. However, the Workflow Archive does not interact with k8s, and so any token that looks valid will be considered authenticated, even if it is not a k8s token or even if the token has no RBAC for Argo. To handle the lack of pass-through k8s authN/authZ, the Workflow Archive specifically does the equivalent of a `kubectl auth can-i` check for respective methods. In 3.5.7 and 3.5.8, the auth check was accidentally removed on the GET Workflow endpoint's fallback to archived workflows on these lines, allowing archived workflows to be retrieved with a fake token. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.6.2 and 3.5.13.","ecosystems":["Bitnami","Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Argo Workflows Allows Access to Archived Workflows with Fake Token in `client` mode","id":"CVE-2024-53862","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":8,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Synapse can be forced to thumbnail unexpected file formats, invoking external, potentially untrustworthy decoders","id":"CVE-2024-53863"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["3.6.2"],"introduced":["3.5.7"],"last_affected":[],"package":"argo-workflows","purl":"pkg:bitnami/argo-workflows","source":"BIT-argo-workflows-2024-53862"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows","source":"GO-2024-3303"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v2","source":"GO-2024-3303"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["3.5.13","3.6.2"],"introduced":["3.5.7","3.6.0-rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","source":"GO-2024-3303"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["3.5.13"],"introduced":["3.5.7"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-h36c-m3rf-34h9"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["3.5.13"],"introduced":["3.5.7"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","source":"GHSA-h36c-m3rf-34h9"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["3.6.2"],"introduced":["3.6.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-h36c-m3rf-34h9"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["3.6.2"],"introduced":["3.6.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","source":"GHSA-h36c-m3rf-34h9"}],"prev":{"headline":"Issuer field partial matches allowed in pyjwt","id":"CVE-2024-53861"},"products":["argo-workflows"],"published":"2024-12-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Argo Workflows has unauthorized access to Argo Workflows Template","id":"CVE-2026-28229","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"Argo Workflows: Incomplete fix for CVE-2026-31892: ArtifactGC.PodSpecPatch bypass of Strict/Secure templateReferencing","id":"CVE-2026-54526","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-16"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"WorkflowTemplate Security Bypass via podSpecPatch in Strict/Secure Reference Mode","id":"CVE-2026-31892","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Argo Workflows: Exposure of artifact repository credentials","id":"CVE-2026-42295","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-09"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Argo Workflows Is Missing Authorization in Sync ConfigMap Provider","id":"CVE-2026-42297","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-09"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Argo Workflows exposes artifact repository credentials in workflow-controller logs","id":"CVE-2025-62157","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-14"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Argo Workflows: Unauthenticated Memory Exhaustion (DoS) in Webhook Interceptor","id":"CVE-2026-42294","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-09"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-12-02","vendors":["argoproj"]},"summary":"Attackers can retrieve archived workflows using fake tokens in client mode due to missing authorization checks, exposing sensitive workflow data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53862/"}
