Synopsis

A source control application running on the remote web server is affected by an improper access vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of GitLab running on the remote web server is 12.0 prior to 15.0.5, 15.1 prior to 15.1.4, or 15.2 prior to 15.2.1. It is, therefore, affected by an improper access vulnerability that allows an attacker to bypass IP allow-listing and download artifacts. This attack only bypasses IP allow-listing, proper permissions are still required.

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 15.0.5, 15.1.4, 15.2.1, or later.
