What is CVE-2021-3557?

This misconfiguration enables these users, through the created ServiceAccount 'argocd-argocd-server', to access all cluster resources, including sensitive data such as secrets. This exposure poses a significant risk to data confidentiality and could lead to unauthorized privilege escalations within the cluster.
