The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in the Comments Search feature provided by the Elasticsearch integration. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


2) Incorrect permission assignment for critical resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18452)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure permissions when moving an issue to a public project from a private one. A remote attacker can disclose the associated private labels and the private project namespace through the GitLab API.


3) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18451)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data in the InternalRedirect filtering feature. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.


4) Incorrect permission assignment for critical resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18450)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information on the target system.

5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18448)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. A remote authenticated attacker can perform brute-force attack and check if a private repository exists.


6) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18455)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when building Nested GraphQL queries. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


7) Improper Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18457)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass authorization checks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper authorization checks in the Sentry tokens handling. A demoted user can gain access to the affected system.
