How to Fix GHSA-6c73-2v8x-qpvm

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/argoproj/argo workflows/v3 dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3 fixed: 3.0.9
Upgrade github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3 to 3.0.9
github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3 fixed: 3.1.6
Upgrade github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3 to 3.1.6
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-6c73-2v8x-qpvm, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/argoproj/argo workflows/v3:

inspect dependencies for github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3

Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact We are not aware of any exploits. This is a pro-active fix. Impacted: * You are running Argo Server < v3.0 with `--secure=true` or >= v3.0 with `--secure` unspecified (note - running in secure mode is recommended regardless). * The attacker is within your network. If you expose Argo Server to the Internet then "your network" is "the Internet". The Argo Server's keys are packaged within the image. They could be extracted and used to decrypt traffic, or forge requests. ### Patches https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/pull/6540 ### Workarounds * Make sure that your Argo Server service or pod are not directly accessible outside of your cluster. Put TLS load balancer in front of it. This was identified by engineers at Jetstack.io
