Argo CD

Quick Start

Non-HA:

kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2.2.11/manifests/install.yaml

HA:

kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2.2.11/manifests/ha/install.yaml

Security fixes

• HIGH: Certificate verification is skipped for connections to OIDC providers (GHSA-7943-82jg-wmw5)
• LOW: A leaked API server encryption key can allow XSS for SSO users (GHSA-pmjg-52h9-72qv)

Potentially-breaking changes

The fix for GHSA-7943-82jg-wmw5 enables TLS certificate validation by default for connections to OIDC providers. If connections to your OIDC provider fails validation, SSO will be broken for your Argo CD instance. You should test 2.2.11 before upgrading it to production. From the new documentation:

By default, all connections made by the API server to OIDC providers (either external providers or the bundled Dex instance) must pass certificate validation. These connections occur when getting the OIDC provider's well-known configuration, when getting the OIDC provider's keys, and when exchanging an authorization code or verifying an ID token as part of an OIDC login flow.

Disabling certificate verification might make sense if:

• You are using the bundled Dex instance and your Argo CD instance has TLS configured with a self-signed certificate and you understand and accept the risks of skipping OIDC provider cert verification.
• You are using an external OIDC provider and that provider uses an invalid certificate and you cannot solve the problem by setting oidcConfig.rootCA and you understand and accept the risks of skipping OIDC provider cert verification.

If either of those two applies, then you can disable OIDC provider certificate verification by setting oidc.tls.insecure.skip.verify to "true" in the argocd-cm ConfigMap.
