2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3613)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted Prometheus Server query, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4365)

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

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote administrator can leak the sentry token by changing the configured URL in the Sentry error tracking settings page.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4342)

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

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote administrator can leak masked webhook secrets by changing target URL of the webhook.


5) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3573)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in the wiki changes page. A remote user can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


6) Improper Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4167)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to group access tokens continue to work after owner loses ability to revoke them. A remote attacker can bypass the authentication on the system.


7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3870)

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

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote attacker can download user avatars using the victim's user ID, on private instances that restrict public level visibility.


8) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0042)

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

The vulnerability exists due to arbitrary protocol redirection in GitLab Pages. A remote user can cause redirection to arbitrary protocols.


9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4131)

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

The vulnerability exists due to device-detector parsing user agents. A remote user can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3514)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the Submodule Url Parser. A remote user can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
