An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2021-22205 in the wild since at least 3 Nov 2021, including in ransomware campaigns.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- gitlab (Bitnami): affected from 11.9.0; fixed in 13.8.8, 13.9.6, 13.10.3\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22205/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22205/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-22205","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22205/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-22205","record":{"aliases":["BIT-gitlab-2021-22205","GHSA-vgp2-3hxm-6x85","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-22205"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GitLab","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands by uploading malicious image files to GitLab, requiring immediate patching.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitLab","cpe":[{"product":"gitlab","vendor":"gitlab"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 11.9.
