For insiders with access to the cluster or logs, this issue could be abused for privilege escalation, as Argo has privileged roles. A malicious insider is the most realistic threat, but pod names are not meant to be kept secret and could wind up just about anywhere.","published":"2020-04-08T20:15:14.763Z","modified":"2026-08-07T15:14:55.004173Z","cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd","fixedVersion":null}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://argoproj.github.io/argo-cd/security_considerations/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/argoproj/argo/releases"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"https://www.soluble.ai/blog/argo-cves-2020"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-07T15:14:55.004173Z"}}
