Summary

Argo CD allows cross-site scripting on repositories page

Details

Impact

This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim via the API, such as creating, modifying, and deleting Kubernetes resources. Due to the improper filtering of URL protocols in the repository page, an attacker can achieve cross-site scripting with permission to edit the repository.

In ui/src/app/shared/components/urls.ts, the following code exists to parse the repository URL.

https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/blob/0ae5882d5ae9fe88efc51f65ca8543fb8c3a0aa1/ui/src/app/shared/components/urls.ts#L14-L26

Since this code doesn't validate the protocol of repository URLs, it's possible to inject javascript: URLs here.

https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/blob/0ae5882d5ae9fe88efc51f65ca8543fb8c3a0aa1/ui/src/app/shared/components/repo.tsx#L5-L7

As the return value of this function is used in the href attribute of the a tag, it's possible to achieve cross-site scripting by using javascript: URLs.

Browsers may return the proper hostname for javascript: URLs, allowing exploitation of this vulnerability.

Patches

A patch for this vulnerability has been released in the following Argo CD versions: - v3.0.4 - v2.14.13 - v2.13.8

The patch incorporates a way to validate the URL being passed in. Returning null if the validation fails.

Workarounds

There are no workarounds other than depending on the browser to filter the URL.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
