CVE-2022-2250Public exploitNetwork attack vector

External redirection via unchecked @@ path destination

Published Jul 1, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Open redirect in GitLab 11.1 through 14.10.4, 15.0 through 15.0.3, and 15.1.0 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary sites. GitLab treats the path segment after @@ as an external host and returns a 301 Location header without restricting the destination to the instance. Exploitation requires a user to trust and open a crafted instance URL; GitLab confirmed the redirect but not account takeover.
