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 values rendered in table cell content by an analytics dashboard component.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in GitLab CE/EE's analytics dashboard component allows an authenticated low-privilege user to inject malicious JavaScript into table cell content that executes in the browsers of other users who view the affected dashboard. The scope change (S:C in CVSS) confirms the impact crosses security boundaries, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized API actions on behalf of victims including administrators. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate as low-privilege GitLab user
Delivery
Inject JavaScript payload into analytics dashboard table cell field
Exploit
Wait for privileged victim to open affected dashboard
Execution
Payload executes in victim's browser
Persist
Exfiltrate session token or PAT to attacker server
Impact
Authenticate as victim and escalate access

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must hold a valid GitLab account with at least low-level project access (PR:L) sufficient to write content that is later rendered in the analytics dashboard table cell context - the specific field or input vector is not detailed in available data beyond 'user-controlled values rendered in table cell content by an analytics dashboard component.' The victim must actively navigate to and view the affected analytics dashboard (UI:R), meaning passive background processes are not sufficient to trigger execution. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.7 score reflects genuine high risk: the network attack vector (AV:N) and low complexity (AC:L) mean the attack is straightforward once the attacker has any authenticated foothold. … 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., Reporter or Developer role) crafts a malicious payload targeting a field rendered as table cell content in the analytics dashboard - such as a project label, metric name, or custom value - embedding a JavaScript payload that exfiltrates the victim's session cookie or GitLab personal access token. When a project maintainer or administrator opens the analytics dashboard, their browser executes the payload and silently transmits their credentials to an attacker-controlled endpoint. …
Remediation Upgrade to one of the fixed releases: GitLab 19.0.6, 19.1.4, or 19.2.2, per the vendor 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, identify all GitLab CE/EE instances and restrict analytics dashboard access to essential users only while enabling detailed access logging. …
