URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') in GitLab

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 25/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.38% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. A user must open a link or visit a page. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: GitLab GitLab 17.4.6, 17.5.4, 17.6.2.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to GitLab GitLab 17.4.6, 17.5.4, 17.6.2 or later.
