All versions of ArgoCD starting from v2.4 have a bug where the ArgoCD repo-server component is vulnerable to a Denial-of-Service attack vector. Specifically,  it's possible to crash the repo server component through an out of memory error by pointing it to a malicious Helm registry. The loadRepoIndex() function in the ArgoCD's helm package, does not limit the size nor time while fetching the data. It fetches it and creates a byte slice from the retrieved data in one go. If the registry is implemented to push data continuously, the repo server will keep allocating memory until it runs out of it. A patch for this vulnerability has been released in v2.10.3, v2.9.8, and v2.8.12.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":6.5},"cwes":["CWE-400"],"references":["https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/commit/14f681e3ee7c38731943b98f92277e88a3db109d","https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/commit/36b8a12a38f8d92d55bffc81deed44389bf6eb59","https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/commit/3e5a878f6e30d935fa149723ea2a2e93748fcddd","https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/security/advisories/GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3","https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/commit/14f681e3ee7c38731943b98f92277e88a3db109d"],"products":["argoproj:argo_cd"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:47:51.568503435+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-29893","score":0.00972,"percentile":0.61965,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-jhwx-mhww-rgc3","summary":"ArgoCD's repo server has Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability","modified":"2026-08-07T08:12:03.480240867Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","ranges":[">=2.4.0 <2.8.14"],"fixed":["2.8.14"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","ranges":[">=2.9.0 <2.9.10"],"fixed":["2.9.10"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","ranges":[">=2.10.0 <2.10.5"],"fixed":["2.10.5"]}]},{"id":"GO-2024-2667","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2024-2667","summary":"Out of memory crash from malicious Helm registry in github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","modified":"2026-08-07T08:12:21.004728059Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2","ranges":[">=2.4.0 <2.8.14",">=2.9.0 <2.9.10",">=2.10.0 <2.10.5"],"fixed":["2.8.14","2.9.10","2.10.5"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
