Argo CD Insecure default administrative password

Published Apr 8, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024 · Assigned by mitre

Description

As of v1.5.0, the default admin password is set to the argocd-server pod name. For insiders with access to the cluster or logs, this issue could be abused for privilege escalation, as Argo has privileged roles. A malicious insider is the most realistic threat, but pod names are not meant to be kept secret and could wind up just about anywhere.
