UBUNTU-CVE-2026-7492
A vulnerability in GitLab CE/EE versions from 9.1 before 18.11.7, 19.0 before 19.0.4, and 19.1 before 19.1.2 allows an unauthenticated user to determine the existence of private projects due to improper authorization controls on cross-project reference pages. This issue affects certain Ubuntu package versions as well. The vulnerability does not allow data modification or denial of service but leaks information about private project existence.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
GitLab CE/EE contained an authorization flaw in cross-project reference pages that could permit unauthenticated users to confirm whether a private project exists. The affected versions include all releases from 9.1 up to but not including 18.11.7, 19.0 up to but not including 19.0.4, and 19.1 up to but not including 19.1.2. This vulnerability is due to improper access control checks. The issue was remediated in the specified fixed versions. The Ubuntu packages 8.4.3+dfsg-9, 8.4.3+dfsg-12, and 8.5.8+dfsg-5 are also affected. There is no indication of known exploits in the wild.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to confirm the existence of private projects, which is an information disclosure issue. It does not impact data integrity or availability. The confidentiality impact is limited to project existence information only.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in GitLab CE/EE versions 18.11.7, 19.0.4, and 19.1.2 and later. Users should upgrade to these or newer versions to remediate the vulnerability. Since this is not a cloud service, manual patching is required. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.
