CVE-2026-6896Network attack vector

Cross-user script execution via unsanitized evidence rendering

Published Jul 8, 2026 · Updated Jul 8, 2026

Cross-site scripting in affected GitLab EE releases allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts in other users' browser sessions. The vulnerability evidence table renderer fails to sanitize user-supplied input before inserting it into rendered content. Developer-role access is required to supply the payload, and another user must view the affected evidence table for the script to run.
