CVE-2024-3035Network attack vector

Repository read and write via unscoped LFS tokens

Published Aug 8, 2024 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Improper authorization in affected GitLab CE/EE releases allows remote authenticated users to read and write user-owned repositories. The LFS token permission check does not restrict a token to its intended repository, allowing that token to authorize Git LFS object reads and writes elsewhere. Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account and an LFS token; confidentiality and integrity of reachable repository data are affected, but availability is not.
