Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.80%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
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.
