Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition up to 18.0.4/18.1.2/18.2.0. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown code of the component API. 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. CVE summarizes:

An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 15.0 before 18.0.5, 18.1 before 18.1.3, and 18.2 before 18.2.1 that could have allowed priviledged users to access certain resource_group information through the API which should have been unavailable.

The weakness was disclosed by iamgk808. The advisory is available at gitlab.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2025-7001 since 07/02/2025. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
