GitLab CE/EE Authorization Issues

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary GraphQL mutations on behalf of authenticated users without their consent. All versions from 17.10 before 18.8.7, versions 18.9 before 18.9.3, and versions 18.10 before 18.10.1 are affected. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available via HackerOne report 3584382, significantly increasing the risk of active exploitation.

Improper HTML sanitization in GitLab EE versions 15.4-18.10.1 allows authenticated users to add email addresses to arbitrary user accounts, potentially enabling account takeover or unauthorized access escalation. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and no patch is currently available. Affected deployments should implement access controls to restrict user modification privileges until updates become available.

GitLab CE/EE contains an improper access control vulnerability in cross-repository merge request operations that allows authenticated users to perform unauthorized actions on merge requests in projects they should not have access to. Affected versions span from 11.10 through 18.10.1, with patches available in 18.8.7, 18.9.3, and 18.10.1. A public proof-of-concept exploit exists (referenced via HackerOne report 3543886), though CISA has not listed this in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, indicating limited active exploitation despite public availability of exploit code.
