Gitlab · Gitlab Ce/Ee · CVE-2024-1250
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
GitLab EE versions 16.8 through 16.8.2
Description:
The issue is related to insecure privilege management in GitLab EE. When a user is assigned a custom role with the `manage group access tokens` permission, they may be able to create group access tokens with Owner privileges, leading to privilege escalation. This could allow a remote attacker to elevate their privileges.
Recommendations:
For GitLab EE versions 16.8 through 16.8.2, consider disabling the custom role with the `manage group access tokens` permission until a patch is available to prevent potential privilege escalation. Restrict access to group access tokens to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid assigning the `manage group access tokens` permission to users who do not require it. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
