CVE-2018-19572
GitLab CE 8.17 and later and EE 8.3 and later have a symlink time-of-check-to-time-of-use race condition that would allow unauthorized access to files in the GitLab Pages chroot environment.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.92%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
