CVE-2021-39867

Status: ModifiedHigh (8.1)—

In all versions of GitLab CE/EE since version 8.15, a DNS rebinding vulnerability in Gitea Importer may be exploited by an attacker to trigger Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
