Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Argo CD (github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v3) versions 3.2.0 before 3.2.11 and 3.3.0 before 3.3.9 are affected. An authenticated user with read-only Argo CD access, such as the default catch-all role, can call the ServerSideDiff endpoint to obtain plaintext Kubernetes Secret data, including tokens, certificates and credentials. This applies to Applications with the IncludeMutationWebhook=true compare option, and the source says extraction works only when a non-Argo CD field manager owns the Secret's data fields. Upgrade to version 3.2.11 or 3.3.9.
