A resource misdirection vulnerability in GitLab CE/EE versions 12.0 prior to 17.0.5, 17.1 prior to 17.1.3, and 17.2 prior to 17.2.1 allows an attacker to craft a repository import in such a way as to misdirect commits.
Solution:
The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not restrict or incorrectly restricts the input before it is used as an identifier for a resource that may be outside the intended sphere of control.
The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
