On June 26, 2024, we released versions 17.1.1, 17.0.3, 16.11.5 for GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE). These versions contain important bug and security fixes, and we strongly recommend that all GitLab installations be upgraded to one of these versions immediately. GitLab.com is already running the patched version. GitLab releases fixes for vulnerabilities in dedicated patch releases. There are two types of patch releases: scheduled releases, and ad-hoc critical patches for high-severity vulnerabilities. Scheduled releases are released twice a month on the second and fourth Wednesdays. For more information, you can visit our releases handbook and security FAQ . You can see all of GitLab release blog posts here . For security fixes, the issues detailing each vulnerability are made public on our issue tracker 30 days after the release in which they were patched. We are dedicated to ensuring all aspects of GitLab that are exposed to customers or that host customer data are held to the highest security standards. As part of maintaining good security hygiene, it is highly recommended that all customers upgrade to the latest patch release for their supported version. You can read more best practices in securing your GitLab instance in our blog post. Recommended Action We strongly recommend that all installations running a version affected by the issues described below are upgraded to the latest version as soon as possible . When no specific deployment type (omnibus, source code, helm chart, etc.) of a product is mentioned, this means all types are affected.

Exploitation outlook

EPSS (FIRST.org) estimates each CVE’s probability of exploitation in the next 30 days — here is the CSIRTS.com read on those numbers.

Moderate exploitation riskCVE-2024-56557.5% 30-day exploitation probability. Patch within normal cadence, watch for KEV listing. Riskier than 94% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Elevated exploitation riskCVE-2024-490133.0% 30-day exploitation probability — well above the norm. Schedule remediation this cycle. Riskier than 98% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Low exploitation riskCVE-2024-49940.35% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 28% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Low exploitation riskCVE-2024-63230.52% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 41% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Low exploitation riskCVE-2024-21770.65% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 48% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
