- An improper certificate validation issue in Smartcard authentication in GitLab EE affecting all versions
from 11.6 prior to 16.4.4, 16.5 prior to 16.5.4, and 16.6 prior to 16.6.2 allows an attacker to
authenticate as another user given their public key if they use Smartcard authentication. Smartcard
authentication is an experimental feature and has to be manually enabled by an administrator.
