Summary

GitLab CE/EE versions from 10.1 before 19.3.6, 19.4 before 19.4.3, and 19.5 before 19.5.1 contain improper input sanitization in the LDAP email lookup path used during OmniAuth identity linking. When OmniAuth SAML and LDAP auto-linking are both enabled, an authenticated user can take over an existing LDAP-backed account without victim interaction.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker can take over another user's LDAP-backed account, gaining unauthorized access to their resources and permissions in GitLab.

Recommendation

Upgrade GitLab to version 19.3.6, 19.4.3, or 19.5.1 (or later) for the respective branch in use.
