CVE-2022-0090
GitLab is configured in a way that it doesn't ignore replacement references with git sub-commands, allowing a malicious user to spoof the contents of their commits in the UI.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.31%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

GitLab is configured in a way that it doesn't ignore replacement references with git sub-commands, allowing a malicious user to spoof the contents of their commits in the UI.
