====================================================================== CERT-Renater Note d'Information No. 2024/VULN305 _____________________________________________________________________ DATE : 27/06/2024 HARDWARE PLATFORM(S): / OPERATING SYSTEM(S): Systems running GitLab versions prior to 17.1.1, 17.0.3, 16.11.5. ===================================================================== https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2024/06/26/patch-release-gitlab-17-1-1-released/ _____________________________________________________________________ GitLab Critical Patch Release: 17.1.1, 17.0.3, 16.11.5 Learn more about GitLab Critical Patch Release: 17.1.1, 17.0.3, 16.11.5 for GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE). Today we are releasing versions 17.1.1, 17.0.3, 16.11.5 for GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE). These versions contain important bug and security fixes, and we strongly recommend that all GitLab installations be upgraded to one of these versions immediately. GitLab.com is already running the patched version. GitLab releases fixes for vulnerabilities in dedicated patch releases. There are two types of patch releases: scheduled releases, and ad-hoc critical patches for high-severity vulnerabilities. Scheduled releases are released twice a month on the second and fourth Wednesdays. For more information, you can visit our releases handbook and security FAQ. You can see all of GitLab release blog posts here. For security fixes, the issues detailing each vulnerability are made public on our issue tracker 30 days after the release in which they were patched. We are dedicated to ensuring all aspects of GitLab that are exposed to customers or that host customer data are held to the highest security standards. As part of maintaining good security hygiene, it is highly recommended that all customers upgrade to the latest patch release for their supported version. You can read more best practices in securing your GitLab instance in our blog post. Recommended Action We strongly recommend that all installations running a version affected by the issues described below are upgraded to the latest version as soon as possible. When no specific deployment type (omnibus, source code, helm chart, etc.) of a product is mentioned, this means all types are affected.

This is a critical severity issue (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N, 9.6). It is now resolved in the latest release and is assigned CVE-2024-5655. Thanks to ahacker1 for reporting this vulnerability through our HackerOne bug bounty program. Breaking changes: This fix changes the MR re-targeting workflow so that a pipeline will not automatically run when a merge request is automatically re-targeted due to its previous target branch being merged. Users will need to manually start a pipeline to have CI execute for their changes. GraphQL authentication using CI_JOB_TOKEN is disabled by default from 17.0.0, and back ported to 17.0.3, 16.11.5 in the current patch release. If access to the GraphQL API is required, please configure one of the several supported token types for authentication. At this time, we have not found evidence of abuse of this vulnerability on the platforms managed by GitLab, including GitLab.com and GitLab Dedicated instances.
