CVE-2023-6682
An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 16.9 prior to 16.9.7, starting from 16.10 prior to 16.10.5, and starting from 16.11 prior to 16.11.2.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.75%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
