An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 13.12 before 17.8.7, 17.9 before 17.9.6, and 17.10 before 17.10.4. Under certain conditions users could bypass IP access restrictions and view sensitive information.
Solution:
The product implements access controls via a policy or other feature with the intention to disable or restrict accesses (reads and/or writes) to assets in a system from untrusted agents. However, implemented access controls lack required granularity, which renders the control policy too broad because it allows accesses from unauthorized agents to the security-sensitive assets.
