CVE-2024-6502
An issue was discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 8.2 prior to 17.1.6 starting from 17.2 prior to 17.2.4, and starting from 17.3 prior to 17.3.1, which allows an attacker to create a branch with the same name as a deleted tag.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
