Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition up to 17.8.6/17.9.5/17.10.3. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown function of the component IP Restrictions Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a insufficient granularity of access control vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 13.12 before 17.8.7, 17.9 before 17.9.6, and 17.10 before 17.10.4. Under certain conditions users could bypass IP access restrictions and view sensitive information.

The weakness was released by rogerace. The advisory is shared at gitlab.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2025-2408 since 03/17/2025. The exploitation appears to be easy.
