What is CVE-2026-42294?

Argo Workflows, a container-native workflow engine for Kubernetes, has a vulnerability in its Webhook Interceptor. The issue arises when the interceptor loads the entire request body into memory prior to performing authentication or signature verification on requests made to the publicly accessible /api/v1/events/ endpoint. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending requests containing excessively large bodies, potentially causing the Argo Server to run out of memory and crash. This results in a denial of service for legitimate users. The vulnerability has been addressed in versions 3.7.14 and 4.0.5.
