CVE-2026-32828 Details
Description
Kargo manages and automates the promotion of software artifacts. In versions 1.4.0 through 1.6.3, 1.7.0-rc.1 through 1.7.8, 1.8.0-rc.1 through 1.8.11, and 1.9.0-rc.1 through 1.9.4, the http and http-download promotion steps allow Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) against link-local addresses, most critically the cloud instance metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254), enabling exfiltration of sensitive data such as IAM credentials. These steps provide full control over request headers and methods, rendering cloud provider header-based SSRF mitigations ineffective. An authenticated attacker with permissions to create/update Stages or craft Promotion resources can exploit this by submitting a malicious Promotion manifest, with response data retrievable via Promotion status fields, Git repositories, or a second http step. This issue has been fixed in versions 1.6.4, 1.7.9, 1.8.12 and 1.9.5.
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in Kargo versions 1.4.0 through 1.6.3, 1.7.0-rc.1 through 1.7.8, 1.8.0-rc.1 through 1.8.11, and 1.9.0-rc.1 through 1.9.4. The vulnerability exists in the 'http' and 'http-download' promotion steps, which allow requests to link-local addresses, including the cloud instance metadata endpoint at 169.254.169.254'. This access can lead to the unauthorized exfiltration of sensitive data, such as IAM credentials. The vulnerability arises because these promotion steps do not restrict destination addresses, allowing requests to internal endpoints that could be exploited to access sensitive metadata.
This vulnerability has been addressed in Kargo versions 1.6.4, 1.7.9, 1.8.12, and 1.9.5. Users should update to one of these versions.
