Summary

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting versions from 17.4 before 19.3.6, 19.4 before 19.4.3, and 19.5 before 19.5.1 that under certain conditions could allow an authenticated user to bypass a required merge request approval policy on a protected branch due to improper access control during approval rule synchronization.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated user may merge changes into a protected branch without required approvals, violating change control policy. This could introduce unapproved code into production.

Recommendation

Update GitLab EE to version 19.3.6, 19.4.3, or 19.5.1 (or later). Review merge request history on protected branches for unusual approvals.
