CVE-2025-2045Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Private analytics disclosure via insufficient role check

Published Mar 6, 2025 · Updated Mar 6, 2025

Improper authorization in affected GitLab EE 17.7–17.9 releases allows remote authenticated users to read private-project analytics. The /analytics/code_reviews route accepts Planner-role membership even though private-project code review analytics require Reporter or higher access. A Planner role on a private Ultimate project is required; exposure is limited to code review analytics, with no write or service impact.
