**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
GitLab CE/EE versions 8.3 through 14.7.6
GitLab CE/EE versions 14.8 through 14.8.4
GitLab CE/EE versions 14.9 through 14.9.1
**Description**
The issue is related to improper handling of user input, allowing an attacker to exploit a stored XSS by abusing multi-word milestone references in issue descriptions, comments, etc. This can be done remotely and may lead to cross-site scripting attacks using specially crafted links.
**Recommendations**
For GitLab CE/EE versions 8.3 through 14.7.6, update to version 14.7.7 or later.
For GitLab CE/EE versions 14.8 through 14.8.4, update to version 14.8.5 or later.
For GitLab CE/EE versions 14.9 through 14.9.1, update to version 14.9.2 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of multi-word milestone references in issue descriptions and comments until a patch is available.
