DescriptionCVE.org

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 17.11 before 18.11.6, 19.0 before 19.0.3, and 19.1 before 19.1.1 that under certain conditions could have allowed an authenticated user with developer-role permissions to bypass package protection rules and overwrite protected Maven package metadata due to incorrect authorization checks.

AnalysisAI

Incorrect authorization in GitLab CE/EE allows authenticated users holding developer-role permissions to bypass Maven package protection rules and overwrite protected package metadata. All GitLab versions from 17.11 through 18.11.5, 19.0.0 through 19.0.2, and 19.1.0 are affected, with patched releases available across all three trains. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate to GitLab as developer-role member
Delivery
Identify target project with Maven package protection rules
Exploit
Craft Maven metadata write request for protected package
Execution
Submit request triggering incorrect authorization check
Persist
Overwrite protected maven-metadata.xml with attacker content
Impact
Downstream consumers resolve tampered version metadata

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires: (1) a valid GitLab account with at minimum developer-role permissions in the target project or group - guest and reporter roles are insufficient; (2) the target project must have Maven package protection rules explicitly configured by an administrator or maintainer, as projects without these rules have no protection to bypass; (3) the attacker targets the Maven package metadata write endpoint specifically - no evidence suggests other package formats (npm, PyPI, etc.) are affected by this same flaw. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (Medium) is well-calibrated for this vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated GitLab user with developer-role membership in a target project crafts a Maven metadata write request - such as updating maven-metadata.xml - targeting a package governed by protection rules that should normally block developer-level writes. The incorrect authorization check passes the request through, allowing the developer to overwrite the protected metadata with attacker-controlled content. …
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade GitLab CE/EE to one of the three patched releases: 18.11.6, 19.0.3, or 19.1.1, as detailed in the GitLab patch release notes at https://docs.gitlab.com/releases/patches/patch-release-gitlab-19-1-1-released/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
