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.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2025-10-14T14:52:44.502+00:00","modifiedAt":"2025-10-14T16:04:24.519+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"argo-workflows","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"argoproj\",\n                    \"product\": \"argo-workflows\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"< 3.6.12\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 3.7.0, < 3.7.3\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":8.1,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/security/advisories/GHSA-p84v-gxvw-73pf","https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/commit/5659ad9b641fcf52c04ed594cd6493f9170f6011","https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/commit/9f6bc5d236cd1b24d607943384511d71ad17a4c3","https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/blob/946a2d6b9ac3309371fe47f49ae94c33ca7d488d/workflow/executor/executor.go#L993"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-62156","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2025-62156","identifiers":["CVE-2025-62156"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
