CVE-2024-6685:
GitLab vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
An issue was discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 16.7 prior to 17.1.7, 17.2 prior to 17.2.5, and 17.3 prior to 17.3.2, where group runners information was disclosed to unauthorised group members (GitLab Release, NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability allows group developers to view group runner details if they can guess or bruteforce the runner ID through a GraphQL API endpoint, which is against GitLab's documented permissions. The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 3.1 LOW (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized access to group runners information, which should only be accessible to Group Maintainers and Owners according to GitLab's documentation. This could potentially expose sensitive runner configurations and details to lower-privileged users (GitLab Issue).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been fixed in GitLab versions 17.1.7, 17.2.5, and 17.3.2. Users are strongly recommended to upgrade to these patched versions immediately (GitLab Release).
