How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2/util/session to version 2.8.13, 2.9.9, 2.10.4 or higher.

Overview

github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2/util/session is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Brute Force by overflowing the login cache mechanism. An attacker can reset the defaultMaxCacheSize (including for the default admin account) by making many login attempts for different users, thus removing entries for previous failed attempts for the target account.

This is a bypass for the previously reported CVE-2020-8827.
