DescriptionCVE.org

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 18.2 before 19.0.6, 19.1 before 19.1.4, and 19.2 before 19.2.2 that under certain conditions could have allowed cross-site scripting due to improper neutralization of user-controlled data rendered in pagination controls by an analytics dashboard component.

AnalysisAI

Stored or reflected cross-site scripting in GitLab CE/EE's analytics dashboard allows an authenticated attacker with low privileges to inject malicious scripts into pagination controls, executing in the browser context of any user who views the affected page. Affected versions span 18.2 through 19.2.1 across all three supported release trains. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate as low-privilege GitLab user
Delivery
Inject XSS payload into analytics dashboard pagination field
Exploit
Share or wait for victim to load the analytics view
Execution
Malicious script executes in victim's browser session
Impact
Exfiltrate session token or perform privileged API actions

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated GitLab account with at minimum low privileges (PR:L confirmed by CVSS vector) - this corresponds to any role that can view analytics dashboards, typically Reporter-level or above on a project. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.7 score is well-supported by the vector metrics: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L confirms network-reachable exploitation requiring only a low-privilege account, which in GitLab deployments often means any registered user or project member. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a low-privilege GitLab account (e.g., a Reporter or Developer role on any project) crafts a payload that injects malicious JavaScript into a field consumed by the analytics dashboard's pagination controls. The attacker then shares a link to the affected analytics view, or waits for a targeted high-privilege user (such as a GitLab administrator) to naturally navigate to the page. …
Remediation Upgrade to one of the fixed releases: 19.0.6, 19.1.4, or 19.2.2, as documented in the GitLab patch release advisory at https://docs.gitlab.com/releases/patches/patch-release-gitlab-19-2-2-released/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Audit your GitLab deployment to identify instances running versions 18.2 through 19.2.1; restrict analytics dashboard access to only essential administrators; disable the analytics feature if operationally feasible. …
