DescriptionCVE.org

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 13.7 before 18.9.7, 18.10 before 18.10.6, and 18.11 before 18.11.3 that could have allowed an authenticated user to view Jira issues outside the configured project scope due to an integration filter functioning only as a display control rather than enforcing access boundaries as specified.

AnalysisAI

GitLab's Jira integration exposes out-of-scope Jira issues to authenticated GitLab users across all editions (CE and EE) from version 13.7 through the patched releases, due to the integration's project-scope filter operating only as a UI display control rather than an enforced access boundary. The Changed scope (S:C) in the CVSS vector reflects that impact crosses into Atlassian Jira - a component outside GitLab's own trust domain - allowing confidential Jira issue data to leak beyond intended project boundaries. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The GitLab Jira integration must be configured and active on the target GitLab project or instance - this vulnerability does not affect GitLab instances without any Jira integration enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Multiple risk signals converge on a low-to-moderate real-world priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated GitLab user on a self-managed instance - even one with minimal project-level permissions - navigates to a GitLab project that has the Jira integration enabled and queries Jira issues through the integration interface. Because the scope filter is only a display control, the user can manipulate or observe API responses to access Jira issues from projects outside the configured GitLab project scope, potentially reading confidential Jira tickets, internal roadmap items, or sensitive issue metadata. …
Remediation Upgrade to one of the following patched releases as appropriate for your current track: GitLab 18.11.3, GitLab 18.10.6, or GitLab 18.9.7. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
