Description

• CVE-2021-22236 (incorrect calculation)

Due to improper handling of OAuth client IDs, new subscriptions
generated OAuth tokens on an incorrect OAuth client application. This
vulnerability is present in GitLab CE/EE since version 14.1 before
version 14.1.2.

• CVE-2021-22237 (access restriction bypass)

Under specialized conditions, GitLab may allow a user with an
impersonation token to perform Git actions even if impersonation is
disabled. This vulnerability is present in GitLab versions before
14.1.2.

• CVE-2021-22239 (access restriction bypass)

An unauthorized user was able to insert metadata when creating a new
issue on GitLab 14.0 and later before version 14.1.2.

• CVE-2021-22241 (cross-site scripting)

An issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions starting
from 13.4 and before 14.1.2. It was possible to exploit a stored cross-
site-scripting via a specifically crafted default branch name.

Impact

A remote attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript code through a
crafted branch name, or bypass access restrictions to perform various
actions they are not authorised for.
