📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Dex configuration now applies the central TLS profile when enabled. The profile supports curve preferences. Reconciliation paths pass the profile to Dex configuration generation, and tests cover the resulting configuration. The Dex image fixture digest is also updated.

Changes

Dex TLS configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
TLS profile and Dex serialization
pkg/tlsprofile/profile.go, controllers/argocd/dexUtil.go
TLSConfigProfile adds curve preferences. getDexConfig serializes enabled minimum versions, cipher suites, and curve preferences into the Dex web configuration.
TLS profile propagation
controllers/argocd/configmap.go, controllers/argocd/dex.go, controllers/argocd/testing.go
Reconciliation and OpenShift configuration assembly pass CentralTLSConfigProfile to getDexConfig. Test reconcilers initialize the profile with cluster TLS disabled.
TLS configuration validation
controllers/argocd/dex_test.go
Table-driven tests cover disabled, partial, combined, and empty TLS profiles.

Dex image digest

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dex image pin
controllers/argocd/dex_test.go
The Dex v2.45.1 fixture uses an updated image digest.

🟠 Major · Preserve the central TLS profile in Argo CD's generated Dex configuration. · controllers/argocd/dexUtil.go:86-100

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-16

Preserve the central TLS profile in Argo CD's generated Dex configuration. Argo CD v3.5.2's rundex command calls GenerateDexConfigYAML, which replaces the entire dexCfg["web"] map with only the listener and certificate paths. This removes tlsMinVersion, tlsCiphers, and tlsCurvePreferences, so Dex uses its defaults. Merge these settings at the generator boundary or pass them through a supported Argo CD/Dex integration. Add a test for the final configuration passed to Dex.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-16

Align the Dex image and TLS configuration keys before relying on central TLS settings. The default image is pinned to Dex v2.45.1, which supports tlsMinVersion but not tlsCiphers or tlsCurvePreferences. Dex therefore ignores the cipher and curve settings emitted here. Use keys supported by the selected Dex release. Pin common.ArgoCDDefaultDexVersion to that release’s verified image digest.
