CVE-2026-10087
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 · uneditedGitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 17.1 before 18.10.8, 18.11 before 18.11.5, and 19.0 before 19.0.2 that under certain conditions could have allowed an authenticated user with developer-role permissions to execute arbitrary client-side code on behalf of a targeted user due to improper input sanitization in the Analytics Dashboard.
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 confidenceStored XSS vulnerability in GitLab EE's Analytics Dashboard where an authenticated user with developer-role permissions could inject arbitrary client-side JavaScript code via improperly sanitized input fields, allowing execution in the context of targeted users.

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.
-
Identify installed GitLab versionRun 'gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info' or check /opt/gitlab/version file. The output will show a version number like 18.10.0 or 19.0.0.Affected if The version falls within these ranges: >= 17.1.0 and < 18.10.8, OR >= 18.11.0 and < 18.11.5, OR >= 19.0.0 and < 19.0.2
-
Confirm GitLab edition is Enterprise EditionRun 'gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info' and look for the 'GitLab EE' designation in the output. This vulnerability affects only EE, not CE.Affected if The edition shows 'GitLab EE' rather than 'GitLab CE'
-
Verify developer-role users existIn GitLab Admin Area, navigate to Users and filter by 'Developer' role, or use API: GET /users?two_factor_enabled=false and check member roles in projects. Alternatively, check if any project/group has members with Developer role assigned.Affected if At least one user holds Developer role permissions in any project or group within the GitLab instance
-
Confirm Analytics Dashboard access for developersCheck if any project or group has the Analytics Dashboard feature enabled for Developer roles. Navigate to Project Settings > Analytics or Group Settings > Analytics, or query the GitLab API for analytics feature flags.Affected if Developer-role users have access to the Analytics Dashboard feature in at least one project or group
-
Compare version against all affected rangesCross-reference your installed version number against the three vulnerable ranges: (1) 17.1.0 through 18.10.7, (2) 18.11.0 through 18.11.4, (3) 19.0.0 through 19.0.1. Versions 18.10.8, 18.11.5, and 19.0.2 or later are not affected.Affected if The installed version exactly matches one of the three vulnerable ranges listed
Your environment is affected if you are running GitLab EE within any of the listed version ranges AND have Developer-role users with access to the Analytics Dashboard feature.

dbcve · scoped18.10.818.11.519.0.2
Upgrade GitLab EE to version 18.10.8, 18.11.5, or 19.0.2 or later to obtain the patched sanitization fixes in the Analytics Dashboard component.
Upgrade to GitLab 18.10.8, 18.11.5, or 19.0.2 or later (recommend latest stable in your major version branch)
- Identify your current GitLab installation version by checking the GitLab admin area or running `gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info`
- Determine which upgrade path aligns with your current version (17.x -> 18.10.8+, 18.11.x -> 18.11.5+, or 19.0.x -> 19.0.2+)
- Backup your GitLab instance before upgrading
- Follow the official GitLab upgrade documentation for your installation method (Omnibus, source, or Helm chart)
- After upgrade, verify the GitLab version matches the expected fixed version using `gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info`
- Test the Analytics Dashboard functionality to confirm the fix works correctly
