Restricted settings disclosure via missing group authorization
Published Aug 12, 2026 · Updated Aug 12, 2026
Missing authorization in the GitLab Duo group settings page allows remote authenticated users to read restricted configuration settings.

The flaw affects Enterprise Edition from 17.7 before 19.0.6, 19.1 before 19.1.4, and 19.2 before 19.2.2; a valid low-privilege account is required.
