Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition up to 17.6.3/17.7.2/17.8.0. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a insufficient granularity of access control vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-1220. The product implements access controls via a policy or other feature with the intention to disable or restrict accesses (reads and/or writes) to assets in a system from untrusted agents. However, implemented access controls lack required granularity, which renders the control policy too broad because it allows accesses from unauthorized agents to the security-sensitive assets. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 17.0 prior to 17.6.4, from 17.7 prior to 17.7.3, and from 17.8 prior to 17.8.1. Under certain conditions, it may have been possible for users with developer role to exfiltrate protected CI variables via CI lint.

The advisory is shared at gitlab.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-11931 since 11/27/2024. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.
