NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitlab package and not the gitlab package as distributed by Debian.

GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions version 8.4 up to 10.4 are vulnerable to XSS because a lack of input validation in the merge request component leads to cross site scripting (specifically, filenames in changes tabs of merge requests). This is fixed in 10.6.3, 10.5.7, and 10.4.7.
