CVE-2022-2235

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.4)—

Insufficient sanitization in GitLab EE's external issue tracker affecting all versions from 14.5 prior to 14.10.5, 15.0 prior to 15.0.4, and 15.1 prior to 15.1.1 allows an attacker to perform cross-site scripting when a victim clicks on a maliciously crafted ZenTao link

CVSS
