CVE-2020-8828 (GCVE-0-2020-8828)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-04-08 19:49 – Updated: 2024-08-04 10:12
VLAI?
Summary
As of v1.5.0, the default admin password is set to the argocd-server pod name. For insiders with access to the cluster or logs, this issue could be abused for privilege escalation, as Argo has privileged roles. A malicious insider is the most realistic threat, but pod names are not meant to be kept secret and could wind up just about anywhere.
Severity ?
