CVE-2022-1510
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.
NVD · uneditedAn issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions starting from 13.9 before 14.8.6, all versions starting from 14.9 before 14.9.4, all versions starting from 14.10 before 14.10.1. GitLab was not correctly handling malicious text in the CI Editor and CI Pipeline details page allowing the attacker to cause uncontrolled resource consumption.
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 confidenceA denial of service vulnerability in GitLab's CI Editor and CI Pipeline details page allows attackers to inject malicious text that causes uncontrolled resource consumption, potentially rendering the service unavailable.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Determine installed GitLab versionRun 'gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info' or 'gitlab --version' or check the version file at /opt/gitlab/versionAffected if The displayed version falls within >= 13.9.0 and < 14.8.6, OR >= 14.9.0 and < 14.9.4, OR equals 14.10.0
-
Confirm GitLab instance is self-hostedIdentify whether the GitLab installation is self-managed (on-premise) rather than GitLab.com, since the vulnerability affects self-managed instancesAffected if The instance is self-managed and runs a vulnerable version
-
Check if CI Editor or Pipeline features are accessibleVerify whether the CI Editor or Pipeline details pages are accessible to users, as the vulnerability exists in these componentsAffected if Users have access to CI Editor or Pipeline details pages on a vulnerable GitLab version
You are affected if your self-managed GitLab instance runs version 13.9.0 to 14.8.5, 14.9.0 to 14.9.3, or 14.10.0, and users can access the CI Editor or Pipeline details functionality.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped14.8.614.9.4
Upgrade GitLab to version 14.8.6, 14.9.4, 14.10.1 or later to patch the vulnerability.
14.10.1 or later (or at minimum 14.8.6/14.9.4 depending on branch)
- 1. Identify the currently installed GitLab version using `gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info` or checking the GitLab admin area
- 2. Based on your current version, plan an upgrade to the minimum fixed release: if on 13.9.x, upgrade to 14.8.6 or later; if on 14.9.x, upgrade to 14.9.4 or later; if on 14.10.0, upgrade to 14.10.1 or later
- 3. Review the GitLab upgrade documentation for your current version to ensure a supported upgrade path
- 4. Perform a full backup of the GitLab database and repositories before upgrading
- 5. Follow the official GitLab upgrade instructions to upgrade to the fixed version (14.10.1 or later recommended)
- 6. After upgrade, verify the GitLab instance is running correctly and the vulnerability is patched
