A maximum severity GitLab flaw could turn your CI/CD server into an attacker’s treasure trove

GitLab patched maximum-severity CVE-2026-85706, an unauthenticated path traversal enabling arbitrary file reads; CISA added it to KEV amid observed in-the-wild probes.

CVE-2026-85706 is a CVSS 10.0 path traversal in GitLab's repository commits API caused by improper confinement and missing authentication enforcement, allowing arbitrary file reads in a single unauthenticated HTTP request. It affects GitLab CE and EE versions 18.7 before 19.1.8, 19.2 before 19.2.6, and 19.3 before 19.3.2, and was reported via GitLab's HackerOne bug bounty. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and watchTowr Intel reports already observing in-the-wild probes; GitLab is used by roughly 50% of the Fortune 100 with over 50 million registered users. Defenders are advised to patch immediately, rotate any exposed secrets, and hunt logs for HTTP POST requests to /api/v4/projects/{id}/repository/commits/ URIs containing file.path parameters.

CVE-2026-85706: Critical GitLab Path Traversal Exploited in the Wild

CVE-2026-85706, a CVSS 10.0 unauthenticated path traversal in GitLab CE/EE, is actively exploited and was added to CISA's KEV catalog.

GitLab patched CVE-2026-85706, a critical path traversal (CWE-22) in the repository commits API scoring CVSSv3.1 10.0, allowing unauthenticated arbitrary file reads on affected self-managed servers under certain conditions. CISA added it to the KEV catalog on September 11, 2026, citing active exploitation, with a September 14 remediation deadline and BOD 26-04 forensic triage requirements. Fixed versions are 19.1.8, 19.2.6, and 19.3.2; the release also fixes 17 other vulnerabilities including CVE-2026-87719, a CVSS 9.9 insecure deserialization flaw in GitLab EE.

GitLab CVE-2026-19478 Comes Under Active Exploitation Within Days of Disclosure

Unauthenticated attackers are actively exploiting GitLab CVE-2026-19478 (CVSS 9.4) to modify or delete public projects days after disclosure.

GitLab CVE-2026-19478, a CVSS 9.4 code injection flaw exploitable via a GraphQL directive without authentication, allows attackers to modify or delete publicly accessible projects, rewrite repository data, forge merge records, and ban maintainers. Affected versions include GitLab CE/EE 18.2 before 18.11.11, 19.0 before 19.0.8, 19.1 before 19.1.6, and 19.2 before 19.2.4. watchTowr reproduced the flaw within minutes of disclosure and observed in-the-wild exploitation against its honeypot network. Fixes shipped in 19.2.4, 19.1.6, 19.0.8, and 18.11.11; interim mitigations include restricting unauthenticated access to /api/graphql or removing public repository access.

CISA Warns of Critical GitLab Vulnerability Exploited in Attacks

CISA added actively exploited GitLab path traversal flaw CVE-2026-85706 to its KEV catalog, warning unauthenticated attackers can read arbitrary files including secrets.

CISA added CVE-2026-85706, an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability (CWE-35) in the repository commits API of GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on September 11, 2026, with a remediation deadline of September 14, 2026. The flaw allows arbitrary file reads via improper path confinement, potentially exposing configuration files, access tokens, private keys, and CI/CD variables that enable further intrusion and supply chain compromise. CISA requires forensic triage under Binding Operational Directive 26-04 and urges defenders to review logs for traversal requests and rotate potentially exposed credentials after patching.

GitLab CVE-2026-85706 Added to CISA KEV

CISA added CVE-2026-85706 to KEV: a path traversal in GitLab CE/EE letting unauthenticated attackers read arbitrary files.

CVE-2026-85706 is a severe path traversal flaw in GitLab CE and EE that permits unauthenticated remote actors to retrieve arbitrary files from affected self-managed deployments. CISA has added the vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, indicating exploitation has been observed. Organizations running self-managed GitLab instances should prioritize patching.

CISA: Hackers now exploit max severity GitLab flaw in attacks

CISA added max-severity GitLab CVE-2026-85706 to its exploited-flaws catalog after watchTowr observed probing of unpatched servers.

CISA added CVE-2026-85706, a maximum-severity GitLab flaw caused by missing authentication enforcement and improper path confinement in the repository commits API, to its actively exploited vulnerabilities catalog. Unauthenticated attackers can read credentials, secrets, and arbitrary files from vulnerable servers via a single HTTP request. GitLab patched the issue in CE/EE versions 19.3.2, 19.2.6, and 19.1, and federal agencies have three days to remediate under BOD 26-04. watchTowr reported in-the-wild probes for unpatched GitLab servers, and this is the fourth GitLab vulnerability CISA has tagged as actively exploited since November 2021.

GitLab CVSS 10 File-Read Flaw Draws In-the-Wild Probes After Disclosure

GitLab patched CVE-2026-85706, a CVSS 10.0 unauthenticated path traversal enabling arbitrary file reads, already probed in the wild.

GitLab released patches for a maximum-severity path traversal flaw (CVE-2026-85706, CVSS 10.0) in the repository commits API, caused by improper path confinement and missing authentication enforcement, allowing unauthenticated arbitrary file reads. watchTowr observed active in-the-wild probes starting 06:00 UTC on September 11, 2026; exploitation requires at least one public project and enables theft of credentials, secrets, and configuration data. GitLab also patched CVE-2026-87719 (CVSS 9.9), an insecure deserialization bug in Enterprise Edition allowing authenticated Duo Chat users to access Advanced Search configurations and sensitive credentials via crafted GraphQL subscription arguments. Affected versions include 18.7 before 19.1.8, 19.2 before 19.2.6, and 19.3 before 19.3.2, and the flaw follows the recently exploited GraphQL code injection bug CVE-2026-19478.

GitLab Vulnerability Exploited One Day After Disclosure

WatchTowr observed in-the-wild exploitation of critical GitLab path traversal CVE-2026-85706 one day after disclosure, letting unauthenticated attackers read arbitrary files.

WatchTowr detected the first in-the-wild probes for CVE-2026-85706 (CVSS 10.0), an unauthenticated path traversal in GitLab CE/EE that allows arbitrary file reads via a single HTTP request, and warns mass exploitation is likely. Affected versions include 18.7 before 19.1.8, 19.2 before 19.2.6, and 19.3 before 19.3.2. The fresh patches also fix 17 other vulnerabilities, including CVE-2026-87719 (CVSS 9.9), an insecure deserialization flaw in the GraphQL subscription serializer exposing Advanced Search credentials, plus six high-severity bugs enabling RCE, CI/CD variable access, XSS, and denial of service.
