Upgrade Argo Workflows to version 3.6.17 or later, or 3.7.8 or later, where this stored XSS vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated by the vendor advisory. Patch status is confirmed by the Red Hat advisory.
Description
Argo Workflows is an open source container-native workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on Kubernetes. Prior to versions 3.6.17 and 3.7.8, stored XSS in the artifact directory listing allows any workflow author to execute arbitrary JavaScript in another user’s browser under the Argo Server origin, enabling API actions with the victim’s privileges. Versions 3.6.17 and 3.7.8 fix the issue.
