Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in GitLab CE/EE versions before 18.11.7, 19.0.4, and 19.1.2 allows an unauthenticated user to determine whether a private project exists. This happens because of improper authorization controls on cross-project reference pages, which under certain conditions leak information about private projects.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is that an attacker without authentication can confirm the existence of private projects. While it does not allow access to the contents of the private projects, it leaks information that could be used for further targeted attacks or reconnaissance.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should upgrade GitLab CE/EE to a fixed version. Specifically, update to version 18.11.7 or later if you are using the 18.11 series, 19.0.4 or later if using the 19.0 series, or 19.1.2 or later if using the 19.1 series.
