AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Network-reachable web app needing a low-privilege developer account (PR:L) and a victim viewing the content (UI:R); scope change (S:C) since script runs in another user's session, giving high C/I and no availability impact.

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 16.4 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 execute arbitrary client-side code in the context of another user's session, due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input.

AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in GitLab Enterprise Edition (all versions from 16.4 before 18.11.6, 19.0 before 19.0.3, and 19.1 before 19.1.1) lets an authenticated user holding only developer-role permissions inject unsanitized input that executes as JavaScript in a victim's browser session. Because the script runs with scope change in the context of another (potentially higher-privileged) user, an attacker can hijack sessions, exfiltrate data, or act on the victim's behalf. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated GitLab EE account with at least developer-role permissions on a project the attacker can inject content into, plus a victim user who subsequently views the attacker-controlled content in their browser (UI:R) - typically a maintainer or owner opening an issue, merge request, or project field. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N): network-reachable with low attack complexity, but gated by low-level authentication (PR:L, a developer-role account) and victim interaction (UI:R, the target must view the poisoned content). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has (or is granted) developer-role access to a GitLab project edits a field that GitLab fails to sanitize, embedding a JavaScript payload. When a maintainer, owner, or other user later opens that issue, merge request, or project page, the script executes in their authenticated session, letting the attacker steal the victim's session token or perform privileged actions as that user. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to a fixed release - Vendor-released patch: 18.11.6, 19.0.3, or 19.1.1 (or any later version), per GitLab's advisory at https://docs.gitlab.com/releases/patches/patch-release-gitlab-19-1-1-released/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
