CVE-2022-2865

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.8)—

A cross-site scripting issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions before 15.1.6, 15.2 to 15.2.4 and 15.3 prior to 15.3.2. It was possible to exploit a vulnerability in setting the labels colour feature which could lead to a stored XSS that allowed attackers to perform arbitrary actions on behalf of victims at client side.

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).
