Improper handling of user input in GitLab CE/EE versions 8.3 prior to 14.7.7, 14.8 prior to 14.8.5, and 14.9 prior to 14.9.2 allowed an attacker to exploit a stored XSS by abusing multi-word milestone references in issue descriptions, comments, etc.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 87.9%, higher than 100% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
