DescriptionCVE.org

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 11.9 before 18.9.7, 18.10 before 18.10.6, and 18.11 before 18.11.3 that could have allowed an unauthenticated user to cause denial of service by uploading a specially crafted file due to improper validation.

AnalysisAI

Denial-of-service in GitLab Enterprise Edition allows a crafted file upload to exhaust service availability through improper deserialization validation. The vulnerability spans an exceptionally wide range, affecting all GitLab EE instances from version 11.9 through the 18.11 line until patched releases. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain network access to GitLab EE instance
Delivery
Authenticate with low-privilege account (or unauthenticated - see conflict note)
Exploit
Upload specially crafted file to vulnerable endpoint
Execution
Trigger improper deserialization during server-side file validation
Impact
Cause service availability failure

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The exploitation path requires the attacker to be able to reach a GitLab EE file upload endpoint over the network (AV:N, AC:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Multiple independent risk signals converge on a low-priority but non-trivial classification. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with access to a GitLab EE instance - whether unauthenticated or with a low-privilege account (per the conflicting signals in this record) - submits a specially crafted file through a GitLab upload endpoint. The malformed serialized payload bypasses input validation and triggers abnormal processing behavior in the deserialization layer, causing the GitLab service to become unavailable or severely degraded. …
Remediation Vendor-released patches are available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
