Code injection in GitLab EE Code Quality reports
GitLab EE contains a code injection issue in Code Quality reports affecting all versions from 18.0.0 before 18.8.9, 18.9 before 18.9.5, and 18.10 before 18.10.3. According to the provided advisory context, an authenticated user could place specially crafted content into a Code Quality report such that when another user viewed the report, the injected content would trigger outbound requests that exposed the viewer’s IP address. The issue is described as a code injection flaw in the report rendering or handling path for Code Quality report content, resulting in client-side information leakage rather than direct server-side code execution.
