[vc_row pix_particles_check=”” nav_skin=”light” consent_include=”include”][vc_column][vc_column_text]GitLab has released fixes and updates that fix critical vulnerabilities as part of the June security updates.

Some of the security vulnerabilities that have been fixed with the released updates and rated as critical, high, and medium are as follows;

• Vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-2185 (critical) exists due to incorrect input validation in Project Imports. As a result, a remote privileged user can import a maliciously crafted project, causing remote code execution on the vulnerable system.
• The XSS vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-2235 (high) is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in ZenTao integration. As a result, a remote threat actor can direct targets to open a specially crafted link and run arbitrary HTML and script code in the user’s browser in the context of the vulnerable website.
• The security vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-2229 (high) is caused by incorrect authorization. A remote threat actor can extract the value of an unprotected variable whose name it knows in public or private projects of which it is a member.

These vulnerabilities affected all GitLab CE/EE versions between 13.7.0 and 15.1.0 (inclusive) and were fixed in the released versions 15.1.1, 15.0.4, and 14.10.5. Users using vulnerable GitLab versions are advised to apply the released updates immediately.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
