NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitlab package and not the gitlab package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions before 10.1.6, 10.2.6, and 10.3.4 are vulnerable to an unverified password change issue in the PasswordsController component resulting in potential account takeover if a victim's session is compromised.
