CVE-2026-28229
Description
A flaw was found in Argo Workflows in which an attacker can leak sensitive information contained in Workflow Templates and Cluster Workflow Templates. Because the functions that retrieve template information use server permissions, no authorization is required to read templates which might contain secrets such as passwords, API keys, or other sensitive data.
Statement
An Important flaw was found in Argo Workflows, as used in Red Hat OpenShift AI. This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access to Workflow Templates and Cluster Workflow Templates due to insufficient authorization checks. This could lead to the disclosure of sensitive information, including embedded secrets like passwords and API keys.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Access Control,Other
Technical Impact: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity; Varies by Context
Exposing critical functionality essentially provides an attacker with the privilege level of that functionality. The consequences will depend on the associated functionality, but they can range from reading or modifying sensitive data, accessing administrative or other privileged functionality, or possibly even executing arbitrary code.
