GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 19.2 before 19.2.7, 19.3 before 19.3.3, and 19.4 before 19.4.1 that under certain conditions could have allowed an authenticated user to execute arbitrary code on the GitLab server due to a double free issue when parsing a specially crafted regular expression in a CI/CD configuration.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Authenticated users who can define or modify a CI/CD configuration can achieve remote code execution on GitLab CE/EE servers by submitting a specially crafted regular expression that triggers a double free during server-side parsing. All versions from 19.2 before 19.2.7, 19.3 before 19.3.3, and 19.4 before 19.4.1 are affected; the vendor scores the issue 9.9, while our assessment retains full confidentiality and integrity impact but raises attack complexity to high because the vulnerable path is state-dependent and double-free corruption is inherently unreliable to exploit. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated GitLab account (PR:L) with sufficient permission to define or modify a CI/CD configuration - in practice at least Developer role on a project, or the ability to create a project on instances permitting self-registration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high priority, not a paper-tiger high-CVSS. … 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 | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to GitLab 19.2.7, 19.3.3, or 19.4.1 (or later) as documented at https://docs.gitlab.com/releases/patches/patch-release-gitlab-19-4-1-released/, treating this as an out-of-band priority update given the RCE impact and the existence of publicly available exploit code. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, confirm which GitLab instances are running releases in the 19.2.x, 19.3.x, or 19.4.x lines below 19.2.7, 19.3.3, and 19.4.1, inventory every account and group with rights to create or edit CI/CD configuration, and treat those accounts as privileged; where immediate upgrade is not possible, tighten CI/CD configuration permissions to the smallest possible set of trusted administrators and increase monitoring of pipeline config changes. …
