Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.170085
Category:Denial of Service
Title:GitLab 8.13.x - 8.13.7, 8.14.x - 8.14.2 DoS Vulnerability
Summary:GitLab is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
GitLab is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The state filter in the IssuableFinder class has the ability to
filter issues and merge requests by state. This filter is implemented by calling public_send with
unfiltered user input. This allows an attacker to call delete_all or destroy_all. Because the
method is called before the project / group scope is applied, it deletes all issues and merge
requests of the GitLab instance.

Vulnerability Impact:
Unauthenticated users could exploit this vulnerability on GitLab
instances with publicly available projects. Users with access to any project are able to delete
all issues and merge requests from all GitLab projects.

Affected Software/OS:
GitLab version 8.13.x through 8.13.7 and 8.14.x through
8.14.2.

Solution:
Update to version 8.13.8, 8.14.3 or later.

CVSS Score:
