"High-Severity GitLab Flaw Lets Attackers Take over Accounts"

GitLab fixed a high-severity vulnerability that enables unauthenticated attackers to hijack user accounts in Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The vulnerability is an XSS flaw in the VS code editor (Web IDE) that allows threat actors to steal restricted information through maliciously crafted pages. Although they can exploit this vulnerability without authentication, user interaction is still required, increasing attack complexity. Hijacked GitLab accounts can significantly impact supply chain security if the attackers insert malicious code in Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) environments. This article continues to discuss the potential exploitation and impact of the GitLab vulnerability.
