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 Patches Critical Unauthenticated GraphQL Vulnerability
GitLab issued an emergency patch for a critical unauthenticated GraphQL flaw (CVE-2026-19478, CVSS 9.4) enabling remote modification or deletion of public projects.
GitLab patched CVE-2026-19478 (CVSS 9.4), an unauthenticated GraphQL directive flaw allowing remote modification or deletion of public projects and user data on self-managed servers. The emergency patch released August 17 covers versions 19.2.4, 19.1.6, 19.0.8, and 18.11.11, but no fixes exist for the 18.2-18.10 branches. A second issue, a CSRF weakness in GraphQL multiplex queries (CVE-2026-19650, CVSS 7.1), shipped in the same release. No exploitation or public PoC has been observed; the flaw was reported by hiimguardian through HackerOne.

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.

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.

Emerging Threat: (CVE-2026-60004) Gitea Remote Code Execution via ...
CVE-2026-60004 (CVSS 9.8) lets attackers with repository write access achieve RCE on self-hosted Gitea servers via malicious git hooks; fixed in 1.27.1.
CVE-2026-60004 is a CWE-94 code injection flaw in Gitea's POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/diffpatch endpoint, disclosed July 28, 2026 with a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 and credited to researcher Shai Rod (NightRang3r). An add/add collision with the three-way merge fallback (--3, Git 2.32+) writes attacker-controlled content into the temporary bare clone's hooks directory, where it executes as a live Git hook running commands as the Gitea OS user. Exploitation requires repository write access, but Gitea's default open registration allows anonymous users to obtain it, exposing app.ini secrets, database credentials, OAuth tokens, and mounted repositories; a public PoC requires no outbound callback. All releases from 1.17 through 1.27.0 are affected; the fix shipped in Gitea 1.27.1 on July 27, 2026, and Gitea Cloud instances were upgraded automatically.

Critical GitLab flaw allows attackers to modify or delete public projects (CVE-2026-19478)
GitLab patched a critical unauthenticated code injection flaw CVE-2026-19478 (CVSS 9.4) enabling modification or deletion of public projects; upgrades urged.
GitLab released patches for two vulnerabilities affecting Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE) versions 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. CVE-2026-19478 (CVSS 9.4) is an unauthenticated code injection via a GraphQL directive, exploitable remotely without user interaction, allowing attackers to modify or delete public projects and user data. CVE-2026-19650 (CVSS 7.1) is a cross-site request forgery issue in the GraphQL multiplex query handler allowing mutations via GET requests with user interaction. Fixes are available in 18.11.11, 19.0.8, 19.1.6, and 19.2.4; both flaws were reported via GitLab's HackerOne bug bounty program.
