{"cve":"CVE-2025-62156","nvd":{"published":"2025-10-14T15:16:12.683","modified":"2026-10-08T12:10:00.217","status":"Analyzed","description":"Argo Workflows is an open source container-native workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on Kubernetes. Versions prior to 3.6.12 and versions 3.7.0 through 3.7.2 contain a Zip Slip path traversal vulnerability in artifact extraction. During artifact extraction the unpack/untar logic (workflow/executor/executor.go) uses filepath.Join(dest, filepath.Clean(header.Name)) without validating that header.Name stays within the intended extraction directory. A malicious archive entry can supply a traversal or absolute path that, after cleaning, overrides the destination directory and causes files to be written outside the /work/tmp extraction path and into system directories such as /etc inside the container. The vulnerability enables arbitrary file creation or overwrite in system configuration locations (for example /etc/passwd, /etc/hosts, /etc/crontab), which can lead to privilege escalation or persistence within the affected container. Update to 3.6.12 or 3.7.3 to remediate the issue.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-22"],"references":["https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/blob/946a2d6b9ac3309371fe47f49ae94c33ca7d488d/workflow/executor/executor.go#L993","https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/commit/5659ad9b641fcf52c04ed594cd6493f9170f6011","https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/commit/9f6bc5d236cd1b24d607943384511d71ad17a4c3","https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/security/advisories/GHSA-p84v-gxvw-73pf"],"products":["argoproj:argo_workflows"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:11:26.888974865+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-62156","score":0.00591,"percentile":0.47964,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-p84v-gxvw-73pf","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-p84v-gxvw-73pf","summary":"Argo Workflow has a Zipslip Vulnerability","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:30.029091815Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","ranges":["<3.6.12"],"fixed":["3.6.12"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","ranges":[">=3.7.0 <3.7.3"],"fixed":["3.7.3"]}]},{"id":"GO-2025-4023","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2025-4023","summary":"Argo Workflow has a Zipslip Vulnerability in github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows","modified":"2026-02-04T02:35:47.477268Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v2","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3","ranges":["<3.6.12",">=3.7.0 <3.7.3"],"fixed":["3.6.12","3.7.3"]}]}],"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).
