Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-39868 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- gitlab (Bitnami): affected from 8.12.0; fixed in 14.1.7, 14.2.5, 14.3.1\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-2021-39868/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-39868/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-39868","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-39868/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-39868","record":{"aliases":["BIT-gitlab-2021-39868","GHSA-jvc7-79q4-7754","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-39868"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GitLab","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated low-privileged users can bypass repository size limits via project export manipulation, potentially causing resource exhaustion.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"business_logic"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitLab","cpe":[{"product":"gitlab","vendor":"gitlab"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"In all versions of GitLab CE/EE since version 8.12, an authenticated low-privileged malicious user may create a project with unlimited repository size by modifying values in a project export.","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Business logic in GitLab","id":"CVE-2021-39868","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"gitlab:gitlab","products":["gitlab:gitlab"],"type":"business_logic","year":"2021"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in GitLab","id":"CVE-2021-39869"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["14.1.7","14.2.5","14.3.1"],"introduced":["8.12.0","14.2.0","14.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"gitlab","purl":"pkg:bitnami/gitlab","source":"BIT-gitlab-2021-39868"}],"prev":{"headline":"Server-side request forgery in GitLab","id":"CVE-2021-39867"},"products":["GitLab"],"published":"2021-10-04","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition Integer Overflow or Wraparound","id":"CVE-2026-97229","kev_date_added":"2026-10-29","published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-85706","kev_date_added":"2026-09-11","published":"2026-09-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2023-7028","kev_date_added":"2024-05-01","published":"2024-01-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-22205","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-04-23"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2021-39935","kev_date_added":"2026-02-03","published":"2021-12-13"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"GitLab Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2021-22175","kev_date_added":"2026-02-18","published":"2021-06-11"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound in GitLab","id":"CVE-2026-110264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["GitLab"]},"summary":"Authenticated low-privileged users can bypass repository size limits via project export manipulation, potentially causing resource exhaustion.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-39868/"}
