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.

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.

Perfect-10 GitLab bug under attack days after patch lands

CISA confirms active exploitation of CVSS 10.0 GitLab path traversal flaw CVE-2026-85706 days after patches shipped, enabling unauthenticated arbitrary file reads.

CISA added CVE-2026-85706, a maximum-severity 10.0 CVSS path traversal flaw in GitLab's repository commits API, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and confirmed active exploitation. The bug allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files, including configuration data and credentials, from self-managed GitLab CE/EE servers via a single HTTP POST request. GitLab shipped fixes on September 10 in versions 19.3.2, 19.2.6, and 19.1.8, covering versions 18.7 through 19.3. watchTowr is observing probes against internet-facing instances and warns widespread exploitation is likely to follow quickly.

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.
