GitLab CE/EE, versions 8.8 up to 11.x before 11.3.11, 11.4 before 11.4.8, and 11.5 before 11.5.1, are vulnerable to an authorization vulnerability that allows access to the web-UI as a user using a Personal Access Token of any scope.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.88%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
