The attacker must know the URL for the targeted cluster and additionally it should be authenticated within the ArgoCD API server with enough privileges to update at least one cluster. A successful attack may lead to privilege escalations or denial of service.	Story Points:	---

Description Marco Benatto 2023-02-07 16:06:46 UTC

All Argo CD versions starting with v2.3.0-rc1 are vulnerable to an improper authorization bug which allows users who have the ability to update at least one cluster secret to update any cluster secret.The attacker could use this access to escalate privileges (potentially controlling Kubernetes
resources) or to break Argo CD functionality (by preventing connections to external clusters).
