CVE-2024-9870Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated SSRF through workspace requests

Published Feb 12, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025

SSRF in affected GitLab EE releases allows remote authenticated users to make the server request unintended services through workspaces. GitLab has not published the request handler, attacker-controlled field, or validation error that permits unintended destinations. Exploitation requires low-privileged network access and a workspace-capable EE deployment; the published consequence is server-originated requests only.
