GHSA-7vf8-2cr6-54mf

Fix: argoproj/argo-workflows@bdd4090

GHSA-7vf8-2cr6-54mf is a CWE-522 vulnerability in github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v4. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-7vf8-2cr6-54mf is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Summary

The workflow executor logs all artifact repository credentials (S3 access keys, secret keys, GCS service account keys, Azure account keys, Git passwords, etc.) in plaintext on artifact operation. Any user with read access to workflow pod logs can extract these credentials.

Note: This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2025-62157

Details

The logging driver passes the entire ArtifactDriver struct to the structured logger, for example: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/blob/59f1089b9875723ddffd524513e6bd5cb37e5e31/workflow/artifacts/logging/driver.go#L24

Exposed credential fields:

  • S3 (workflow/artifacts/s3/s3.go): AccessKey, SecretKey, SessionToken, ServerSideCustomerKey
  • OSS (workflow/artifacts/oss/oss.go): AccessKey, SecretKey, SecurityToken
  • GCS (workflow/artifacts/gcs/gcs.go): ServiceAccountKey

PoC

  1. Create template
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Workflow
metadata:
  name: cred-leak-test
  namespace: argo
spec:
  entrypoint: main
  templates:
  - name: main
    container:
      image: alpine:3.13
      command: [sh, -c]
      args: ["echo 'hello' > /tmp/output.txt"]
    outputs:
      artifacts:
      - name: output
        path: /tmp/output.txt
        s3:
          endpoint: minio:9000
          insecure: true
          bucket: my-bucket
          key: test-output.txt
          accessKeySecret:
            name: my-minio-cred
            key: accesskey
          secretKeySecret:
            name: my-minio-cred
            key: secretkey
  1. Then check the logs kubectl -n argo logs "cred-leak-test" -c wait <img width="1248" height="322" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a5cf6d66-7d67-408d-8583-27d11ecf1507" />

Impact

Any user with Kubernetes RBAC permissions to read pod logs in the workflow namespace can extract artifact repository credentials.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v4. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v4 to 4.0.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7vf8-2cr6-54mf is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-7vf8-2cr6-54mf is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-7vf8-2cr6-54mf. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
