An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-22263 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- gitlab (Bitnami): affected from 13.0.0; fixed in 14.0.9, 14.1.4, 14.2.2\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-2021-22263/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22263/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-22263","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22263/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-22263","record":{"aliases":["BIT-gitlab-2021-22263","GHSA-prvv-j9vx-7x9q","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-22263"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"GitLab","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"External users with Maintainer roles can escalate privileges to Internal status, gaining unauthorized access to internal projects.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitLab","cpe":[{"product":"gitlab","vendor":"gitlab"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"An issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions starting from 13.0 before 14.0.9, all versions starting from 14.1 before 14.1.4, all versions starting from 14.2 before 14.2.2.
