CVE-2026-45737 Details
Description
Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. From 3.2.0 until 3.2.12, 3.3.10, and 3.4.2, Argo CD ServerSideDiff can expose Kubernetes Secret values embedded in the kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration annotation because HideSecretData(target, live, ...) does not fully sanitize ResourceDiff.TargetState and LiveState predicted live Secret objects, allowing sensitive data, stringData, and annotations to appear in UI or CLI diffs. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.12, 3.3.10, and 3.4.2.
A vulnerability in Argo CD's server-side diff feature can lead to the unintentional exposure of sensitive Kubernetes Secret data. This issue affects Argo CD versions 3.2.0 prior to 3.2.12, 3.3.10, and 3.4.2. The vulnerability arises because the 'HideSecretData' function does not adequately sanitize the 'last-applied-configuration' annotation for Secret objects, allowing sensitive information to be displayed in UI or CLI diffs. The problem is particularly pronounced for Secrets created or updated with client-side apply, as these annotations can contain raw data, stringData, and sensitive annotations.
Users can upgrade to Argo CD versions 3.2.12, 3.3.10, or 3.4.2, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
