A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade gitlab to 18.2.2, 17.9.3 or 17.8.6.

AI-suggested

A patch is available for this vulnerability. Users should upgrade affected GitLab versions to 17.8.6 or later for the 17.8.x branch, 17.9.3 or later for the 17.9.x branch, and 18.2.2 or later for the 17.10.x branch and beyond. Applying these updates will remediate the vulnerability.

Description

A code injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-2867) exists in GitLab Duo with Amazon Q affecting versions 17.8.0 through before 17.8.6, 17.9.0 through before 17.9.3, and 17.10.0 through before 18.2.2. This flaw allows a specially crafted issue to manipulate AI-assisted development features, potentially exposing sensitive project data to unauthorized users. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating and a patch is available.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in unauthorized users gaining access to sensitive project data through manipulation of AI-assisted development features. This could lead to data confidentiality breaches within affected GitLab projects. There is no indication of active exploitation in the wild.

Summary

CVE-2025-2867 is an improper control of code generation vulnerability in GitLab Duo with Amazon Q. It affects multiple GitLab versions starting from 17.8.0 up to but not including 17.8.6, 17.9.0 up to but not including 17.9.3, and 17.10.0 up to but not including 18.2.2. The vulnerability arises from the ability of an attacker to craft an issue that manipulates AI-assisted development features, which can lead to unauthorized exposure of sensitive project data. No CVSS score is provided. There are no known exploits in the wild. A patch is available for the affected versions.
