Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. Prior to versions 2.13.8, 2.14.13, and 3.0.4, an attacker can perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim via the API. Due to the improper filtering of URL protocols in the repository page, an attacker can achieve cross-site scripting with permission to edit the repository. This issue has been patched in versions 2.13.8, 2.14.13, and 3.0.4.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-79

Untrusted input is placed into a web page without being neutralised, so an attacker's markup or script executes in another user's browser. That can hijack sessions, capture keystrokes, or silently perform actions as the victim. Fixing it properly means context-aware output encoding everywhere data meets HTML, backed by a content-security policy as a second line of defence.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to Argo CD 2.13.8, 2.14.13, or 3.0.4 (choose the release line matching your current major.minor)

  1. Review the Argo CD release notes for your target version (2.13.8, 2.14.13, or 3.0.4) for any breaking changes relevant to your deployment
  2. Backup your Argo CD application and configuration data
  3. If using Helm, update your Argo CD Helm deployment to the fixed version: helm repo update && helm upgrade <release-name> argo/argo-cd --version <new-version>
  4. If using raw manifests, update the Argo CD deployment manifests to reference the fixed version tags
  5. Apply the updated manifests or Helm chart: kubectl apply -f <manifests> or helm upgrade
  6. Verify the Argo CD pods restart with the new version: kubectl get pods -n argocd
  7. Confirm the API server is running: kubectl get pods -n argocd -l app.kubernetes.io/name=argocd-server
  8. Validate the XSS fix is applied by testing repository URL handling in the UI
