Synopsis

A source control application running on the remote web server is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of GitLab running on the remote web server is prior to 13.8.8, 13.9.x prior to 13.9.6, or 13.10.x prior to 13.10.3. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution due to not properly validating image files being passed to a file parser. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by uploading a malicious image file, to execute arbitrary code.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to GitLab version 13.8.8 / 13.9.6 / 13.10.3 or later.
