Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in GitLab Enterprise Edition up to 17.10.7/17.11.3/18.0.1. Affected is an unknown function of the component IP Access Restriction. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a insufficient granularity of access control vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

An issue has been discovered in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 12.0 before 17.10.8, 17.11 before 17.11.4, and 18.0 before 18.0.2. Under certain conditions users could bypass IP access restrictions and view sensitive information.

The advisory is available at gitlab.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2025-5982 since 06/10/2025. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 238367 (GitLab 12.0 < 17.10.8 / 17.11 < 17.11.4 / 18.0 < 18.0.2 (CVE-2025-5982)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
