Unknown · Argo Workflows Chart · CVE-2024-52799
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Argo Workflows Chart versions prior to 0.44.0
**Description**
The workflow-role in the Argo Workflows Chart has excessive privileges, including the ability to create pods/exec, which allows for arbitrary code execution within pods in the same namespace. If a user can be made to run a malicious template, their whole namespace can be compromised. This issue affects versions of the argo-workflows Chart that use appVersion: 3.4 and above, as well as users below 3.4 depending on their choice of Executor. The vulnerability is specific to the Helm Chart and does not affect the upstream manifests.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 0.44.0, update to version 0.44.0 to fix the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the privileges of the workflow-role to minimize the risk of exploitation.
