InfoSecBulletin Cybersecurity for mankind
GitLab has released a critical security update for several versions of its platform, including versions 17.6.2, 17.5.4, and 17.4.6 for both Community and Enterprise Editions. This update fixes vulnerabilities that could result in account takeovers, denial of service attacks, and data leaks.
CVE-2024-11274 (CVSS 8.7) is a critical vulnerability that permits the injection of Network Error Logging (NEL) headers in Kubernetes proxy responses, risking user session data exfiltration. This could allow attackers to steal session data and access accounts without permission.

CVE-2024-8233 (CVSS 7.5) allows attackers to perform denial of service attacks by repeatedly sending unauthenticated requests for diff-files. All GitLab versions from 9.4 are affected, making it urgent for users to update.
The update also addresses several medium and low-severity vulnerabilities, including:
CI_JOB_TOKEN Exploitation:
Attackers could potentially use stolen CI_JOB_TOKENs to gain access to user sessions.
Open Redirects and Path Traversal:
These vulnerabilities can be used for phishing and data leaks.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and HTML Injection:
Improper output encoding and other vulnerabilities can allow XSS attacks if Content Security Policy (CSP) is not enabled.
Information Leaks:
Unauthorized users could access sensitive information, like project names and incident details.
GitLab urges all users to update to the latest versions immediately to address security risks. The company thanks security researchers for reporting these vulnerabilities through its HackerOne bug bounty program.
