CVE-2018-16976
This can allow valid users to obtain unintended access.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.17%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Gitolite before 3.6.9 does not (in certain configurations involving @all or a regex) properly restrict access to a Git repository that is in the process of being migrated until the full set of migration steps has been completed. This can allow valid users to obtain unintended access.
