Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact A vulnerability was discovered in Argo CD that exposed secret values in error messages and the diff view when an invalid Kubernetes Secret resource was synced from a repository. The vulnerability assumes the user has write access to the repository and can exploit it, either intentionally or unintentionally, by committing an invalid Secret to repository and triggering a Sync. Once exploited, any user with read access to Argo CD can view the exposed secret data. Patches A patch for this vulnerability is available in the following Argo CD versions: - v2.13.4 - v2.12.10 - v2.11.13 Workarounds There is no workaround other than upgrading. References Fixed with commit https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/commit/6f5537bdf15ddbaa0f27a1a678632ff0743e4107 & https://github.com/argoproj/gitops-engine/commit/7e21b91e9d0f64104c8a661f3f390c5e6d73ddca

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-23216

Advisory: Argo CD does not scrub secret values from patch errors
IDs: CVE-2025-23216, GHSA-47g2-qmh2-749v
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-23216 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:09 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 2.13.4, 2.12.10, 2.11.13. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2: affected >= 2.13.0, < 2.13.4; >= 2.12.0, < 2.12.10; < 2.11.13; fixed in 2.11.13, 2.13.4, 2.12.10
- Go github.com/argoproj/argo-cd: affected <= 1.8.7

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go github.com/argoproj/argo-cd: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2, github.com/argoproj/argo-cd.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-47g2-qmh2-749v (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-47g2-qmh2-749v lists affected ranges: Go github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2 >=2.13.0 =2.12.0 =0 =0 <=1.8.7)
