What it is about
GitLab ist eine Webanwendung zur Versionsverwaltung für Softwareprojekte auf Basis von git. Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in GitLab ausnutzen, um Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriffe durchzuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Berechtigungen zu erweitern, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, Daten zu manipulieren oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen.
Under what conditions?
The BSI does not name any particular preconditions. Exploitable remotely according to the BSI.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriffe durchzuführen
- Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen
- Berechtigungen zu erweitern
- vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen
- Daten zu manipulieren oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen
Am I affected?
Affected according to the BSI:
- Open Source GitLab <19.2.2
- Open Source GitLab <19.1.4
- Open Source GitLab <19.0.6
The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.
What helps?
Update to at least:
- Open Source GitLab 19.2.2
- Open Source GitLab 19.1.4
- Open Source GitLab 19.0.6
Is the vulnerability already being exploited?
None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
