Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-10-14 15:16 - Updated: 2026-10-08 12:10
Severity
8.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H
8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
Argo Workflows is an open source container-native workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on Kubernetes. Versions prior to 3.6.12 and versions 3.7.0 through 3.7.2 contain a Zip Slip path traversal vulnerability in artifact extraction. During artifact extraction the unpack/untar logic (workflow/executor/executor.go) uses filepath.Join(dest, filepath.Clean(header.Name)) without validating that header.Name stays within the intended extraction directory. A malicious archive entry can supply a traversal or absolute path that, after cleaning, overrides the destination directory and causes files to be written outside the /work/tmp extraction path and into system directories such as /etc inside the container. The vulnerability enables arbitrary file creation or overwrite in system configuration locations (for example /etc/passwd, /etc/hosts, /etc/crontab), which can lead to privilege escalation or persistence within the affected container. Update to 3.6.12 or 3.7.3 to remediate the issue.

Las versiones anteriores a la 3.6.12 y las versiones 3.7.0 a la 3.7.2 contienen una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta Zip Slip en la extracci\u00f3n de artefactos. Durante la extracci\u00f3n de artefactos, la l\u00f3gica de descompresi\u00f3n/desempaquetado (unpack/untar) (workflow/executor/executor.go) utiliza filepath.Join(dest, filepath.Clean(header.Name)) sin validar que header.Name permanezca dentro del directorio de extracci\u00f3n previsto. Una entrada de archivo maliciosa puede proporcionar una ruta de salto o absoluta que, despu\u00e9s de la limpieza, anula el directorio de destino y hace que los archivos se escriban fuera de la ruta de extracci\u00f3n /work/tmp y en directorios del sistema como /etc dentro del contenedor. La vulnerabilidad permite la creaci\u00f3n o sobrescritura arbitraria de archivos en ubicaciones de configuraci\u00f3n del sistema (por ejemplo, /etc/p4ssd, /etc/h0sts, /etc/crontab), lo que puede conducir a la escalada de privilegios o la persistencia dentro del contenedor afectado.
