Research direction
Reproduce the report using the provided ArgoCD source build and Docker Scout output, then compare Scout's detected Go module version with /usr/local/bin/argocd version. Trace how the CLI identifies the binary's version and maps CVEs. Done means the built commit is identified consistently and the reported vulnerability range matches the actual version.

Description
I built ArgoCD from source:
mkdir argocd_build && \
cd argocd_build && \
mkdir gocache && \
mkdir gopath && \
export GOCACHE="$(realpath gocache)" && \
export GOPATH="$(realpath gopath)" && \
git clone https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd && \
cd argo-cd && \
git checkout master && \
make clean && \
make BIN_NAME=argocd-linux-amd64 GOOS=linux argocd-all
Built from 08cd54775046c6ca7071ebe4f5d817f2658cd3c9 (current master).
