GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 12.3 to 19.1.8, 19.2 before 19.2.6, and 19.3 before 19.3.2 under certain conditions could allow an authenticated user to achieve remote code execution by importing a specially crafted Git project export to overflow the Unicode conversion buffer used in Advanced Search indexing.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated remote code execution in GitLab Enterprise Edition (Advanced Search / Elasticsearch indexing) allows a user with project-import rights to overflow a Unicode conversion buffer by importing a specially crafted Git project export, resulting in arbitrary command execution on the GitLab server. All EE versions from 12.3 through 19.1.8, plus 19.2 before 19.2.6 and 19.3 before 19.3.2, are affected under configurations where Advanced Search is enabled. …
