Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Open redirect vulnerability in GitLab's Jira integration allows attackers to craft malicious URLs that cause the application to redirect users to attacker-controlled websites, potentially facilitating phishing attacks or credential theft.

MitigationUpgrade GitLab to version 13.5 or later to patch the open redirect vulnerability in the Jira integration feature.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed GitLab version
    Access the GitLab admin area or run `gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info` from the server command line to retrieve the exact version number
    Affected if Version is 13.5 to 14.5.3, 14.6.0 to 14.6.3, or 14.7.0
  2. Confirm Jira integration is enabled
    Navigate to GitLab admin settings > Integrations > Jira, or check via API at /api/v4/integrations, to verify the Jira integration has been configured
    Affected if Jira integration is active and connected to a Jira instance
  3. Verify redirect handling in Jira integration settings
    Inspect the Jira integration configuration for any redirect_url parameters or custom URL fields that could be manipulated, or test by submitting a Jira integration request with an external redirect target
    Affected if The system accepts and processes redirect URLs without validation in the Jira integration context

A user is affected if their GitLab version falls within 13.5 to 14.5.3, 14.6.0 to 14.6.3, or 14.7.0 AND the Jira integration feature is enabled and configured.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 14.5.4 / 14.6.4 or later
Fixed in 14.5.414.6.4
Interim mitigation

Upgrade GitLab to version 13.5 or later to patch the open redirect vulnerability in the Jira integration feature.

Recommended fix High confidence

GitLab 14.8 or later (latest stable 14.x release)

  1. 1. Back up your GitLab instance data and configuration before proceeding with the upgrade
  2. 2. Plan for appropriate maintenance window as upgrade may require downtime
  3. 3. Review GitLab upgrade documentation for your specific deployment method (omnibus, source, etc.)
  4. 4. Execute the upgrade to GitLab version 14.5.4 or later (if currently on 13.x or early 14.x), or 14.6.4 or later (if on 14.6.x), or ideally version 14.8 or later for all affected branches
  5. 5. After upgrade, verify GitLab is functioning correctly
  6. 6. Test the Jira integration to confirm it works as expected post-upgrade
Caveat Review GitLab upgrade notes for any configuration or breaking changes between your current version and target version; some upgrades may require intermediate steps
