Summary

GitLab CE/EE from 18.9 before 19.2.8, from 19.3 before 19.3.5, and from 19.4 before 19.4.2 has incorrect authorization of the import target namespace (CWE-863). Under certain conditions, an authenticated user with a fine-grained Personal Access Token scoped only to user-boundary import permissions can import projects into group namespaces beyond the token's intended scope. The CVSS 3.1 vector rates the attack as high complexity with low privileges required, and the impact as low integrity loss only. The references include an exploit link, but CISA does not list the flaw in KEV.

Description from the CNA

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 18.9 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 fine-grained Personal Access Token scoped only to user-boundary import permissions to import projects into group namespaces beyond the token's intended scope, due to incorrect authorization of the import target namespace.
