CVE-2022-2826Network attack vector

Unauthorized data modification by privileged remote users

Published Oct 28, 2022 · Updated May 7, 2025

Improper authorization in affected GitLab 10.0 through 13.0.0 releases allows remote authenticated users to alter unspecified data. GitLab has not publicly disclosed the affected component, the failed authorization operation, or the attacker-controlled request; the linked issue is unavailable and the HackerOne report requires access. Administrative privileges are required, and GitLab's assessment limits the consequence to integrity modification without data disclosure or service interruption.
