Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-39885 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- gitlab (Bitnami): affected from 13.7.0; 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-2021-39885/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-39885/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-39885","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-39885/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-39885","record":{"aliases":["BIT-gitlab-2021-39885","GHSA-cvqc-8rrv-whf2","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-39885"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GitLab Enterprise Edition","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Stored XSS in GitLab EE allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript via malicious approval rule names, potentially leading to account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitLab","cpe":[{"product":"gitlab","vendor":"gitlab"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A Stored XSS in merge request creation page in all versions of Gitlab EE starting from 13.7 before 14.1.7, all versions starting from 14.2 before 14.2.5, and all versions starting from 14.3 before 14.3.1 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the victim's behalf via malicious approval rule names","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":"Cross-site scripting in GitLab","id":"CVE-2021-39885","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"gitlab:gitlab","products":["gitlab:gitlab"],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in GitLab","id":"CVE-2021-39886"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["14.1.7","14.2.5","14.3.1"],"introduced":["13.7.0","14.2.0","14.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"gitlab","purl":"pkg:bitnami/gitlab","source":"BIT-gitlab-2021-39885"}],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in GitLab","id":"CVE-2021-39884"},"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":"Stored XSS in GitLab EE allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript via malicious approval rule names, potentially leading to account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-39885/"}
