Why It Matters
Analysis dossierWhy It Matters
Argo Workflows is an open source container-native workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on Kubernetes. Versions 3.6.13 and below and versions 3.7.0 through 3.7.4, contain unsafe untar code that handles symbolic links in archives. Concretely, the computation of a link's target and the subsequent check are flawed. An attacker can overwrite the file /var/run/argo/argoexec with a script of their choice, which would be executed at the pod's start. The patch deployed against CVE-2025-62156 is ineffective against malicious archives containing symbolic links. This issue is fixed in versions 3.6.14 and 3.7.5.

Suggested hunting (rule-based inference)
SecOps Signal recommendation (rule-based inference). These steps are hunting hypotheses from the vulnerability class; they do not state or imply that exploitation occurred here or anywhere.
Matched command-injection (CWE-78); path-traversal (CWE-23)
Exposure
- Identify installations of the affected product and compare versions with the advisory.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A weakness class does not establish local exposure. · Rule command-injection
- Locate affected deployments and the path-handling endpoint named by the advisory.Telemetry: Application access logs · The affected path must come from the source, not the CWE alone. · Rule path-traversal
Exploitation evidence
- Review command interpreters spawned by the affected service or application.Telemetry: DeviceProcessEvents · Unexpected process lineage can support command-injection hunting. · Rule command-injection

Exploitation evidence
- Review requests to that endpoint for traversal encodings and unusual file responses.Telemetry: Application access logs · Such patterns are a hypothesis to validate against normal traffic. · Rule path-traversal
Response
- Confirm the vendor mitigation or fixed version on affected assets.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · Inventory checks can verify remediation. · Rule command-injection
