Security researchers at depthfirst published working exploit code on July 24 for a GitLab flaw that GitLab patched six weeks earlier, on June 10. It runs commands as git on any self-managed 18.11.3 server that has not taken the update.
AI Summary
Security researchers at depthfirst released working exploit code on July 24 for a GitLab vulnerability that had been patched on June 10. The flaw allows any authenticated user who can push to a project to run arbitrary commands as the git user on a self‑managed GitLab server running version 18.11.3 that has not applied the update. The proof‑of‑concept demonstrates remote code execution by executing commands as git. The exploit targets only self‑managed installations that remain on the vulnerable version.
