A vulnerability was found in Argo CD. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a specially crafted large JSON payload to the /api/webhook endpoint, causing excessive memory allocation leading to service disruption by triggering an out-of-memory (OOM) kill. The issue poses a high risk to the availability of Argo CD deployments.
