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-2024-6502 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- gitlab (Bitnami): affected from 8.2.0; fixed in 17.1.6, 17.2.4, 17.3.1\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-2024-6502/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6502/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6502","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6502/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6502","record":{"aliases":["BIT-gitlab-2024-6502","GHSA-j5xm-2wp4-36g2","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-6502"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GitLab","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can create a branch with the same name as a deleted tag, potentially causing confusion or unauthorized access to repository content.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"business_logic"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitLab","cpe":[{"product":"gitlab","vendor":"gitlab"}],"cvss":{"score":5.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-684","name":"Incorrect Provision of Specified Functionality"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 8.2 prior to 17.1.6 starting from 17.2 prior to 17.2.4, and starting from 17.3 prior to 17.3.1, which allows an attacker to create a branch with the same name as a deleted tag.","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":"Incorrect Provision of Specified Functionality in GitLab","id":"CVE-2024-6502","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"gitlab:gitlab","products":["gitlab:gitlab"],"type":"business_logic","year":"2024"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Rapid7 InsightVM Protection Mechanism Failure","id":"CVE-2024-6504"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["17.1.6","17.2.4","17.3.1"],"introduced":["8.2.0","17.2.0","17.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"gitlab","purl":"pkg:bitnami/gitlab","source":"BIT-gitlab-2024-6502"}],"prev":{"headline":"Networkmanager: denial of service","id":"CVE-2024-6501"},"products":["GitLab"],"published":"2024-08-22","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-29","vendors":["GitLab"]},"summary":"An attacker can create a branch with the same name as a deleted tag, potentially causing confusion or unauthorized access to repository content.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6502/"}
