Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16794 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- gitlab (Bitnami): affected from 18.11.0; fixed in 19.1.8, 19.2.6, 19.3.2\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-2026-16794/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16794/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16794","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16794/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16794","record":{"aliases":["BIT-gitlab-2026-16794","GHSA-cgh2-rmr4-c8fm","MINI-7373-839r-cfp8","MINI-qj56-9jc6-wc8v","MINI-v6rc-qr38-whpc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GitLab","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated Security Manager can execute arbitrary CI/CD jobs and access protected variables due to improper authorization controls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"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-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 18.11 before 19.1.8, 19.2 before 19.2.6, and 19.3 before 19.3.2 that under certain conditions could have allowed an authenticated user with the Security Manager role to execute arbitrary CI/CD jobs and access protected variables within group projects due to improper authorization controls on compliance framework management.","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":"Missing Authorization in GitLab","id":"CVE-2026-16794","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"gitlab:gitlab","products":["gitlab:gitlab"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Improper neutralization of argument delimiters in AWS Bedrock AgentCore Python SDK install_packages()","id":"CVE-2026-16796"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["19.1.8","19.2.6","19.3.2"],"introduced":["18.11.0","19.2.0","19.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"gitlab","purl":"pkg:bitnami/gitlab","source":"BIT-gitlab-2026-16794"}],"prev":{"headline":"Remote Command Injection via OS Profile Password in Lenovo XClarity Orchestrator","id":"CVE-2026-16793"},"products":["GitLab"],"published":"2026-09-16","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":"2026-09-16","vendors":["GitLab"]},"summary":"An authenticated Security Manager can execute arbitrary CI/CD jobs and access protected variables due to improper authorization controls.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16794/"}
