Summary

CVE-2024-47827 is a medium-severity Race Condition (CWE-362) vulnerability in Argoproj Argo Workflows. Its CVSS base score is 5.7 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 29th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-15 (Development Process, Standards, and Tools) and SA-17 (Developer Security and Privacy Architecture and Design) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Requiring documented development standards and secure design processes prevents introduction of global-variable-heavy architectures.

Requiring developers to produce security architecture descriptions enforces designs that avoid broad global coupling.

Security engineering principles explicitly require encapsulation, modularity, and minimized shared state, directly stopping excessive global use.

Maintaining separate execution domains for each process structurally eliminates unintended concurrent access to the same shared resources.

Preventing unintended information transfer through shared system resources directly addresses the improper concurrent modification that defines a race condition.

Secure SDLC practices directly require proper synchronization primitives and concurrency testing that prevent race conditions.

finds

Security testing can detect race conditions, but does not prevent them at design or coding time.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates concurrency controls and synchronization primitives that directly prevent race conditions.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify thread-safety and locking rules, but do not prescribe implementation details.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require proper synchronization and resource isolation, addressing the root cause of CWE-362.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe concurrent access patterns and mandate atomic operations or locks.

none

Change management reduces introduction of concurrency bugs during updates, yet does not address the weakness itself.
