CVE-2022-31054
Denial of Service vulnerability in argo-events (Go)
What is CVE-2022-31054 About?
This vulnerability in github.com/argoproj/argo-events allows deprecated API uses to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) in user-facing endpoints. This leads to service unavailability and is potentially easy to exploit for an attacker who can trigger the deprecated API calls.
Affected Software
Technical Details
The vulnerability in Argo Events (github.com/argoproj/argo-events) stems from the improper handling or continued use of deprecated API functions or endpoints. When these deprecated APIs are invoked, they may contain inefficient, buggy, or unhardened code paths that attackers can exploit. By repeatedly or specially crafting requests to these deprecated, user-facing endpoints, an attacker can trigger resource exhaustion (e.g., excessive CPU usage, memory consumption, or deadlocks), leading to a Denial of Service condition for legitimate users of the Argo Events system.
What is the Impact of CVE-2022-31054?
Successful exploitation may allow attackers to cause user-facing endpoints to become unresponsive or crash, leading to a denial of service and disrupting the availability of Argo Events.
What is the Exploitability of CVE-2022-31054?
Exploitation complexity is likely low to medium. An attacker would need to identify and interact with the specific deprecated API endpoints that trigger the DoS condition. Authentication requirements would depend on whether the deprecated endpoints are accessible to unauthenticated users or only to authenticated users. This is primarily a remote exploitation scenario, assuming the attacker has network access to the Argo Events service. The main risk factor is the continued exposure and lack of robust error handling or throttling for deprecated API calls, enabling an attacker to degrade or halt service availability.
