CVE-2024-29893

Summary

CVE-2024-29893 is a Denial-of-Service vulnerability affecting all versions of Argo CD, a popular continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes, starting from v2.4. The vulnerability lies in the ArgoCD repo-server component, which can be crashed through an out-of-memory error caused by maliciously crafted Helm registries. The loadRepoIndex() function in ArgoCD's helm package does not limit the size or time while fetching registry data, resulting in continuous memory allocation that can exhaust server resources. This vulnerability has been addressed with patches in versions v2.10.3, v2.9.8, and v2.8.12. Users are encouraged to upgrade their ArgoCD installations to mitigate this risk.
