GitLab vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
GitLab before version 12.8.2 contained an incorrect access control vulnerability via LFS import (CVE-2020-10081). The vulnerability was internally discovered and affected all previous GitLab versions, where the LFS import process could potentially be used to incorrectly access LFS objects not owned by the user (GitLab Release).
Technical details
The vulnerability was related to the Large File Storage (LFS) import functionality in GitLab. It allowed unauthorized access to LFS objects that were not owned by the user through the import process. The issue was discovered through internal security testing (GitLab Release).
Impact
The vulnerability could allow attackers to access LFS objects that they should not have permission to access, potentially exposing sensitive data stored in large files managed through GitLab's LFS system (GitLab Release).
Mitigation and workarounds
GitLab strongly recommended that all installations running affected versions be upgraded to version 12.8.2 or later as soon as possible. The vulnerability was fixed in GitLab versions 12.8.2, 12.7.7, and 12.6.8 (GitLab Release).
