DescriptionCVE.org

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 15.3 before 19.1.8, 19.2 before 19.2.6, and 19.3 before 19.3.2 that, under certain conditions, an authenticated user could have induced a targeted user to perform unintended state-changing HTTP requests due to improper sanitization of user-controlled data in the Markdown JSON table renderer.

AnalysisAI

Improper sanitization of user-controlled data in GitLab CE/EE's Markdown JSON table renderer allows crafted content to make a targeted user's browser issue unintended state-changing HTTP requests when the rendered page is viewed, affecting versions from 15.3 through 19.1.7, 19.2.5 and 19.3.1. Exploit details are publicly available through a linked HackerOne report, and the vendor CVSS of 8.2 reflects network reachability, a high attack-complexity rating, required user interaction and a scope change. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concrete things: first, the attacker must be able to place attacker-controlled data into a GitLab surface that is rendered as Markdown through the JSON table renderer - issues, comments, merge request descriptions or wikis on a project the victim will view; the description explicitly attributes the payload to a user (an authenticated author), which conflicts with the published PR:N metric and should be verified against the vendor. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L yields 8.2 High, driven by full confidentiality and integrity impact and a scope change, but tempered by AC:H and UI:R - the attacker must get a targeted, logged-in user to render the malicious content. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade immediately to GitLab 19.3.2, or to 19.2.6 on the 19.2 line or 19.1.8 on the 19.1 line - these are the vendor-released fixed versions per the official patch release page at https://docs.gitlab.com/releases/patches/patch-release-gitlab-19-3-2-released/ (work item: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/621447). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all GitLab CE/EE instances and confirm exact version numbers, then upgrade any instance on 19.1.x to 19.1.8, any on 19.2.x to 19.2.6, and any on 19.3.x to 19.3.2 (vendor-released fixes); if an instance cannot be upgraded immediately, restrict external exposure of the web interface, prioritize upgrades for instances reachable from the internet, and warn users not to open untrusted Markdown content such as tables in issues, merge requests, and comments. …
