CVE-2020-8828 Information

Description

As of v1.5.0 the default admin password is set to the argocd-server pod name. For insiders with access to the cluster or logs this issue could be abused for privilege escalation as Argo has privileged roles. A malicious insider is the most realistic threat but pod names are not meant to be kept secret and could wind up just about anywhere.
