CVE-2022-0167

Credential exposure via enabled sensitive-field autocomplete

Published Jul 1, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Sensitive-data exposure in GitLab 14.0 through 14.4.4, 14.5.0 through 14.5.2, and 14.6.0 through 14.6.1 allows attackers to recover form values. The sign-in, sign-up, password-reset, confirmation, and group-import forms omit autocomplete suppression on credential and token fields, allowing browsers to retain their values. Recovery requires access to the user's workstation or cross-site scripting execution in the browser and can disclose usernames, passwords, or access tokens.
