GHSA-5q86-62xr-3r57: Uses of deprecated API can be used to cause DoS in user-facing endpoints
Impact
Several HandleRoute endpoints make use of the deprecated ioutil.ReadAll(). ioutil.ReadAll() reads all the data into memory. As such, an attacker who sends a large request to the Argo Events server will be able to crash it and cause denial of service.
Eventsources susceptible to an out-of-memory denial-of-service attack:
- AWS SNS
- Bitbucket
- Bitbucket
- Gitlab
- Slack
- Storagegrid
- Webhook
Patches
A patch for this vulnerability has been released in the following Argo Events version:
v1.7.1
Credits
Disclosed by Ada Logics in a security audit sponsored by CNCF and facilitated by OSTIF.

Argo Events is an event-driven workflow automation framework for Kubernetes. Prior to version 1.7.1, several `HandleRoute` endpoints make use of the deprecated `ioutil.ReadAll()`. `ioutil.ReadAll()` reads all the data into memory. As such, an attacker who sends a large request to the Argo Events server will be able to crash it and cause denial of service. A patch for this vulnerability has been released in Argo Events version 1.7.1.
