What is CVE-2025-59538?

In Argo CD, when the webhook settings for Azure DevOps are not configured with a username and password, the /api/webhook endpoint may crash the argocd-server process upon receiving a specific JSON payload from Azure DevOps. This occurs when the resource.refUpdates array is empty, leading to an index being accessed without proper length validation. This vulnerability can be triggered via a single unauthenticated HTTP POST request, resulting in a denial of service for the affected server. Updates have been made in versions 2.14.20, 3.2.0-rc2, 3.1.8, and 3.0.19 to mitigate this issue.

Affected Version(s)
