Critical GitLab Flaws Let Attackers Read Arbitrary Files, Steal Credentials and Execute Code
GitLab issues emergency patches for critical path-traversal flaw CVE-2026-85706 (CVSS 10.0), GraphQL credential exposure CVE-2026-87719, and potential RCE flaw CVE-2026-88765.
GitLab released versions 19.3.2, 19.2.6, and 19.1.8 on September 10, 2026, fixing 18 vulnerabilities across Community and Enterprise Editions. CVE-2026-85706 allows unauthenticated arbitrary file reads via the repository commits API; CVE-2026-87719 exposes Advanced Search credentials through GraphQL subscription deserialization; CVE-2026-88765 may enable authenticated RCE via crafted project export imports. No exploitation was reported, but self-managed administrators are urged to upgrade immediately and review logs for suspicious API and GraphQL activity.

Critical GitLab GraphQL Flaw Could Let Unauthenticated Attackers Delete Public Projects
GitLab urgently patched CVE-2026-19478 (CVSS 9.4), a critical unauthenticated GraphQL flaw allowing modification or deletion of public projects on self-managed instances.
GitLab released an out-of-band critical patch on August 17, 2026 fixing CVE-2026-19478 (CVSS 9.4), a flaw that under certain conditions lets unauthenticated attackers remotely modify or delete public projects and user data via a GraphQL directive in Community and Enterprise Editions. Fixes are available in GitLab 19.2.4, 19.1.6, 19.0.8, and 18.11.11; GitLab.com and GitLab Dedicated are already patched, so only self-managed installations need to act. The release also fixes CVE-2026-19650 (CVSS 7.1), a cross-site request forgery flaw in GraphQL multiplex query handling requiring user interaction. No exploitation or public exploit code has been observed as of August 18, 2026.

GitLab’s critical flaw is already drawing internet-wide probes
GitLab patches two critical flaws (CVE-2026-85706 CVSS 10.0, CVE-2026-87719) as WatchTowr observes internet-wide probing of the unauthenticated file-read bug.
GitLab released emergency patches for two high-severity flaws in Community and Enterprise Editions, urging self-managed operators to upgrade immediately while saying its hosted and Dedicated offerings are fixed or unaffected. CVE-2026-85706 (CVSS 10.0) is a path traversal in the repository commits interface that lets unauthenticated attackers read any file on the server and affects releases 18.7 through 19.1.8 plus the 19.2 and 19.3 lines before patching. CVE-2026-87719 (CVSS 9.9, Enterprise Edition only) lets a logged-in Duo Chat user hide a command in a request that triggers Advanced Search settings and password disclosure. WatchTowr Labs reported it is already watching probes that can trigger the path traversal flaw in a single HTTP request, though CISA had not added either issue to the KEV list as of Friday afternoon.
