Impact
Authenticated users can delete or alter group-level labels beyond their scope. An attacker needs network access and a fine-grained Personal Access Token scoped only to a project.
Root cause
Flawed authorization checks fail to properly validate label ownership scope boundaries.
Affected systems
GitLab CE/EE 18.11 before 19.2.8, 19.3 before 19.3.5, and 19.4 before 19.4.2
CVSS v3.1 · CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Fix & remediation
Upgrade GitLab to 19.2.8, 19.3.5, 19.4.2, or later. No interim workaround is documented, so prioritize patching.
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade gitlab-eeAI-suggested. Run it in staging first and check it against the vendor advisory. Why?
NVD description
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 18.11 before 19.2.8, 19.3 before 19.3.5, and 19.4 before 19.4.2 that, under certain conditions, could have allowed an authenticated user with a project-scoped fine-grained Personal Access Token to permanently delete or modify group-level labels, due to incorrect authorization logic on label ownership scope validation.
