CVE-2025-13927Network attack vector

Unauthenticated service interruption via malformed authentication data

Published Jan 22, 2026 · Updated Jan 22, 2026

Denial of service in the Jira Connect integration in GitLab CE/EE allows remote attackers to interrupt service with malformed authentication data. GitLab has not published the specific code locus or explained how the integration allocates resources without limits while processing that untrusted data. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful requests can exhaust availability without reported confidentiality or integrity impact.
