CVE-2024-8186 Details
Description
An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 16.6 before 17.7.6, 17.8 before 17.8.4, and 17.9 before 17.9.1. An attacker could inject HMTL into the child item search potentially leading to XSS in certain situations.
A vulnerability exists in GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE) versions 16.6 prior to 17.7.6, 17.8 prior to 17.8.4, and 17.9 prior to 17.9.1. This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject HTML into the child item search on the issue page, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) in certain situations. The issue arises because user-controlled content is sent directly into a component that renders HTML, bypassing security measures that are supposed to sanitize such input.
Users can update to GitLab versions 17.8.4 or 17.9.1 to address this vulnerability.
