Seriously? Argo CD. *Again*.
Oh, joy. Another security disaster in the cloud native world. Apparently, some dipshits over at BleepingComputer discovered a max-severity flaw in Argo CD – you know, that GitOps thing everyone’s forcing on themselves? This one lets anyone with network access to your instance steal repository credentials. Yeah, *anyone*. Like, seriously, if you’ve exposed it to the internet (and let’s be real, some of you have), consider everything compromised.
The problem is in how Argo CD handles Git repository connections. A maliciously crafted request can trick it into revealing those sweet, sweet secrets – usernames and passwords, SSH keys, the whole nine yards. They’re blaming a misconfiguration in their API, which basically means someone didn’t bother to think this through before shipping it. Fixes are available (CVE-2024-23865), so update your shit *now* if you haven’t already. And for the love of all that is holy, lock down access control!
They claim no evidence of exploitation yet, but come on. This has been around since at least version 2.11. It’s only a matter of time before some script kiddie finds it and starts pawing through your code. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I once had to clean up a mess where someone used hardcoded credentials in a Dockerfile, committed it to GitHub, and then *wondered* why their production database got pwned. Seriously. People are astonishingly bad at this security thing. It’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck every single day.
