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 · unedited
Improper control of a resource identifier in Error Tracking in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.7 allows an authenticated attacker to generate content which could cause a victim to make unintended arbitrary requests

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 · moderate confidence

Improper control of a resource identifier in GitLab's Error Tracking feature allows an authenticated attacker to inject crafted content that causes victim users to make unintended arbitrary requests, likely exploiting a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability.

MitigationUpgrade GitLab CE/EE to the latest patched version; restrict Error Tracking feature access where upgrade is not immediately feasible.

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
    Navigate to Admin Area > Dashboard or run `gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info` to view the GitLab version
    Affected if Version is 12.7.0 or lower
  2. Verify Error Tracking feature status
    Go to Project > Settings > Error Tracking (or Admin Area > Settings > Error Tracking for instance-wide) to see if the feature is enabled
    Affected if Error Tracking is enabled and the version is <=12.7.0
  3. Confirm authenticated user access
    Review whether any non-admin users have access to create or modify Error Tracking settings or projects using this feature
    Affected if Authenticated users can access the Error Tracking feature on an affected version

Your environment is affected if running GitLab version 12.7.0 or lower AND the Error Tracking feature is enabled with authenticated user access.
