CVE-2024-13041: GitLab

Medium severity, CVSS 5.4. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An issue was discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 16.4 prior to 17.5.5, starting from 17.6 prior to 17.6.3, and starting from 17.7 prior to 17.7.1. When a user is created via the SAML provider, the external groups setting overrides the external provider configuration. As a result, the user may not be marked as external thereby giving those users access to internal projects or groups.

Affected products

• GitLab GitLab: from 16.4.0, before 17.5.5 (fixed in 17.5.5); from 17.6.0, before 17.6.3 (fixed in 17.6.3); from 17.7.0, before 17.7.1 (fixed in 17.7.1)
