Summary

A directory traversal vulnerability in Argo CD enables attackers to exploit improper access controls, allowing them to traverse directories and potentially access sensitive information, such as credentials stored in YAML files. This flaw arises from an issue in the helmTemplate function within repository.go, affecting installations of Argo CD that are prior to versions 2.1.9 or 2.2.4. If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could lead to data breaches, posing significant risks to deployed applications and underlying infrastructure.
