CVE-2026-42880 PUBLISHED

ArgoCD ServerSideDiff is vulnerable to Kubernetes Secret Extraction

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 30.04.2026 Published: 07.05.2026 Updated: 07.05.2026

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. From versions 3.2.0 to before 3.2.11 and 3.3.0 to before 3.3.9, there is a missing authorization and data-masking gap in Argo CD's ServerSideDiff endpoint that allows an attacker with read-only access to extract plaintext Kubernetes Secret data from etcd via the Kubernetes API server's Server-Side Apply dry-run mechanism. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.11 and 3.3.9.
