GHSA-5Q86-62XR-3R57

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-06-17 01:02 – Updated: 2022-06-29 21:49

Summary

Uses of deprecated API can be used to cause DoS in user-facing endpoints

Details

Impact

Several HandleRoute endpoints make use of the deprecated ioutil.ReadAll(). ioutil.ReadAll() reads all the data into memory. As such, an attacker who sends a large request to the Argo Events server will be able to crash it and cause denial of service.

Eventsources susceptible to an out-of-memory denial-of-service attack:

AWS SNS
Bitbucket
Bitbucket
Gitlab
Slack
Storagegrid
Webhook

Patches

A patch for this vulnerability has been released in the following Argo Events version:

v1.7.1

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-06-13 19:40 – Updated: 2025-04-23 18:16

Title

Uses of deprecated API can be used to cause DoS in user-facing endpoints in Argo Events

Summary

Argo Events is an event-driven workflow automation framework for Kubernetes. Prior to version 1.7.1, several `HandleRoute` endpoints make use of the deprecated `ioutil.ReadAll()`. `ioutil.ReadAll()` reads all the data into memory. As such, an attacker who sends a large request to the Argo Events server will be able to crash it and cause denial of service. A patch for this vulnerability has been released in Argo Events version 1.7.1.
