{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2024-13041","details":"An issue was discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 16.4 prior to 17.5.5, starting from 17.6 prior to 17.6.3, and starting from 17.7 prior to 17.7.1. When a user is created via the SAML provider, the external groups setting overrides the external provider configuration. As a result, the user may not be marked as external thereby giving those users access to internal projects or groups.","modified":"2025-10-24T05:06:48Z","published":"2025-01-09T07:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-13041"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-13041"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-13041"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2025/01/08/patch-release-gitlab-17-7-1-released/#instance-saml-does-not-respect-external_provider-configuration"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/479165"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"gitlab","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/gitlab@8.5.8+dfsg-5?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["8.4.3+dfsg-9","8.4.3+dfsg-12","8.5.8+dfsg-5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"gitlab","binary_version":"8.5.8+dfsg-5"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-13041.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"negligible"}]}
