In a newly released update, GitLab reports that it is releasing versions 16.7.2,
16.6.3, and 16.5.6 for GitLab Community Edition (CE) as well as Enterprise
Edition (EE) in order to address a series of critical vulnerabilities.

Two critical vulnerabilities, alongside one each for high, medium, and low, are
listed as part of the fixes that the vendor is urgently recommending as soon as
possible. 

The first critical vulnerability — tracked as CVE-2023-7028 — is an
authentication issue that allows password resets to be sent to unverified email
addresses and has a maximum severity score of 10. Threat actors don't need
interaction to successfully exploit this vulnerability, though GitLab noted that
it has not detected any active exploitation.



The versions affected are 16.1 prior to 16.1.5; 16.2 prior to 16.2.8; 16.3 prior
to 16.3.6; 16.4 prior to 16.4.4; 16.5 prior to 16.5.6; 16.6 prior to 16.6.4; and
16.7 prior to 16.7.2.

The second critical vulnerability — tracked as CVE-2023-5356 — can be used to
impersonate another user to execute slash commands in order to abuse
Slack/Mattermost. There are incorrect authorization checks in all versions
starting from 8.13 before 16.5.6, all versions from 16.6 before 16.6.4, and all
versions from 16.7 before 16.7.2.



The three other vulnerabilities mentioned in the report are related to bypass
CODEOWNERS approval removal (CVE-2023-4812), workspaces created under different
root namespace (CVE-2023-6955), and modification of the metadata of signed
commits (CVE-2023-2030). 



GitLab recommends upgrading and enabling two-factor authentication for all
accounts.
