CVE-2024-4660Network attack vector

Private source-code disclosure via group templates

Published Sep 12, 2024 · Updated Sep 13, 2024

Missing authorization in affected GitLab EE releases allows remote authenticated users to read private source code through group templates. The custom group-level project-template flow exports and imports a private template project without enforcing the source project's membership requirement. Guest membership in the containing group is sufficient to copy repository branches, commits, and tags, with no reported integrity or availability impact.
