DescriptionCVE.org

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 17.6 before 18.9.7, 18.10 before 18.10.6, and 18.11 before 18.11.3 that could have allowed an authenticated user with developer-role permissions to bypass PyPI package protection rules and upload restricted packages due to improper authorization checks.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated developers in GitLab CE/EE versions before 18.9.7, 18.10.6, and 18.11.3 can bypass PyPI package protection rules and upload restricted packages due to improper authorization checks. Despite CVSS 4.3 rating, the 0.01% EPSS score and CISA SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: no, technical impact: partial) indicate minimal real-world exploitation risk, with no confirmed active exploitation or public exploits identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

GitLab's package registry supports PyPI package management with administrator-configured protection rules that restrict upload permissions. The vulnerability stems from improper authorization validation in the package upload API, allowing developer-role users to circumvent these protections. CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) indicates the authorization check failed to properly validate user permissions against configured protection rules, likely due to flawed role-based access control enforcement or missing privilege level verification during the package upload operation.

RemediationAI

Upgrade GitLab to version 18.9.7, 18.10.6, or 18.11.3 or later, depending on your current version. See the official GitLab patch release notes at https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2026/05/13/patch-release-gitlab-18-11-3-released/ for detailed upgrade procedures. As a temporary workaround pending patching, restrict developer-role access to package management features through role-based access controls, implement approval workflows requiring authorization before PyPI package uploads, or disable the PyPI package registry entirely if not required. Each workaround carries trade-offs: access restrictions impact development workflows, approval workflows introduce administrative overhead, and disabling the registry removes package functionality entirely.
