Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-0376)

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in merge-request page. A remote user can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


2) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12379)

CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to unbounded symbol creation within the scopes parameter in a Personal Access Token. A remote user can cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3303)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the prompt injection issue. A remote user can exfiltrate contents of a private issue.


4) Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1042)

CWE-ID: CWE-552 - Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the insecure direct object reference issue. A remote administrator can view contents of a repository even if that access is not authorized.


5) Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1212)

CWE-ID: CWE-497 - Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to route confusion in workhorse. A remote user can send a specially crafted request to a backend server and reveal sensitive information.


6) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9870)

CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within workspaces. A remote user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.


7) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-0516)

CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization checks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper authorization. A remote user can perform unauthorized actions on critical project data.


8) Insufficient Session Expiration (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1198)

CWE-ID: CWE-613 - Insufficient Session Expiration

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the ActionCable does not invalidate tokens after revocation. A remote user can gain access to streaming results with revoked Personal Access Tokens.
