CVE-2019-12825Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Cross-group registry disclosure via stale namespace reuse

Published Feb 17, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Improper access control in GitLab Enterprise 12.0.0-pre allows remote authenticated users to read other groups' container images. Changing a group path leaves its registry images in the old namespace, which a different user can reclaim by creating matching group and project paths. Access requires a GitLab account and reuse of the abandoned paths, exposing images from the prior private project.
