{"id":"CVE-2020-8828","details":"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.","aliases":["BIT-argo-cd-2020-8828","GHSA-h8jc-jmrf-9h8f"],"modified":"2026-03-14T07:48:35.820094Z","published":"2020-04-08T20:15:14.763Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://argoproj.github.io/argo-cd/security_considerations/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/argoproj/argo/releases"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"https://www.soluble.ai/blog/argo-cves-2020"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"bdda41046378a855e289b5f1602d5c923a3f914a"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.5.0"}]}}],"versions":["v0.1.0","v0.2.0","v0.3.0","v0.3.1","v0.3.2","v0.3.3","v0.4.0","v0.4.0-alpha1","v0.4.1","v0.4.2","v0.4.3","v0.4.4","v0.4.5","v0.5.0","v0.5.1","v0.5.2","v0.6.0","v0.6.1","v0.7.0","v0.7.1","v0.8.0","v1.5.0-rc1","v1.5.0-rc2","v1.5.0-rc3"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2020-8828.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
