Versions prior to 3.6.12 and versions 3.7.0 through 3.7.2 contain a Zip Slip path traversal vulnerability in artifact extraction. During artifact extraction the unpack/untar logic (workflow/executor/executor.go) uses filepath.Join(dest, filepath.Clean(header.Name)) without validating that header.Name stays within the intended extraction directory. A malicious archive entry can supply a traversal or absolute path that, after cleaning, overrides the destination directory and causes files to be written outside the /work/tmp extraction path and into system directories such as /etc inside the container. The vulnerability enables arbitrary file creation or overwrite in system configuration locations (for example /etc/passwd, /etc/hosts, /etc/crontab), which can lead to privilege escalation or persistence within the affected container. Update to 3.6.12 or 3.7.3 to remediate the issue.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"argo-workflows","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/argo-workflows"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.6.12"},{"introduced":"3.7.0"},{"fixed":"3.7.3"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/argo-workflows/BIT-argo-workflows-2025-62156.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/blob/946a2d6b9ac3309371fe47f49ae94c33ca7d488d/workflow/executor/executor.go#L993"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/commit/5659ad9b641fcf52c04ed594cd6493f9170f6011"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/commit/9f6bc5d236cd1b24d607943384511d71ad17a4c3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/security/advisories/GHSA-p84v-gxvw-73pf"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-62156"}],"database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:argo_workflows_project:argo_workflows:*:*:*:*:*:kubernetes:*:*"],"severity":"High"}}
