What is GHSA-6w87-g839-9wv7?
GHSA-6w87-g839-9wv7 is a vulnerability in github.com/argoproj/argo-cd, published on 21 May 2021. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Impact
When Argo CD was connected to a Helm OCI repository with authentication enabled, the credentials used for accessing the remote repository were logged.
Anyone with access to the pod logs - either via access with appropriate permissions to the Kubernetes control plane or a third party log management system where the logs from Argo CD were aggregated - could have potentially obtained the credentials to the Helm OCI repository.
If you are using Helm OCI repositories with Argo CD, it is strongly recommended to upgrade Argo CD to the latest patch version and to change the credentials used to access the repositories.
Patches
A patch for this vulnerability is available with the v1.8.7 and v1.7.14 releases of Argo CD.
