In versions 2.13.0 through 2.13.8, 2.14.0 through 2.14.15, 3.0.0 through 3.0.12 and 3.1.0-rc1 through 3.1.1, API tokens with project-level permissions are able to retrieve sensitive repository credentials (usernames, passwords) through the project details API endpoint, even when the token only has standard application management permissions and no explicit access to secrets. This vulnerability does not only affect project-level permissions. Any token with project get permissions is also vulnerable, including global permissions such as: `p, role/user, projects, get, *, allow`. This issue is fixed in versions 2.13.9, 2.14.16, 3.0.14 and 3.1.2.","provenance":"source","from":"CVE.org"},"summary":{"text":"The flaw lies in Argo CD, the GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes, where the project details API endpoint exposes sensitive repository credentials, such as usernames and passwords, to API tokens that hold project get permissions. An attacker holding such a token, including one with only standard application management permissions or a global projects, get permission, can retrieve those repository credentials over the network with no explicit secrets access, a low-privilege authenticated account, and no user interaction required.","provenance":"ai","model":"claude-haiku-5-5","generatedAt":"2026-10-29T13:44:24Z"},"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"CRITICAL","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","provenance":"source","from":"CVE.org
