CVE-2022-2417
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.5)—
Insufficient validation in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.10 prior to 15.0.5, 15.1 prior to 15.1.4, and 15.2 prior to 15.2.1 allows an authenticated and authorised user to import a project that includes branch names which are 40 hexadecimal characters, which could be abused in supply chain attacks where a victim pinned to a specific Git commit of the project.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
- Base score: 4.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.71%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 52
- Score date: 10/7/2026
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).
