NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitlab-rails-ce-fips-18.2 package and not the gitlab-rails-ce-fips-18.2 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 13.2 before 18.3.6, 18.4 before 18.4.4, and 18.5 before 18.5.2 that could have allowed an authenticated attacker with reporter access to view branch names and pipeline details by accessing the packages API endpoint even when repository access was disabled.
