An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-2825 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- gitlab (Bitnami): affected from 16.0.0; fixed in 16.0.1\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-2023-2825/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2825/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-2825","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2825/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-2825","record":{"aliases":["BIT-gitlab-2023-2825","GHSA-x4jh-5c6x-h92v","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-2825"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"GitLab","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary server files via path traversal in GitLab when specific nested group attachment conditions are met.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"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:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting only version 16.0.0.
