Summary

GitLab CE/EE from 10.3 before 19.2.8, from 19.3 before 19.3.5, and from 19.4 before 19.4.2 is affected by a server-side request forgery flaw (CWE-918) caused by a time-of-check to time-of-use race condition in URL validation during repository import operations. An authenticated user with low privileges can, under certain conditions, make the server reach internal network resources.
