NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitlab package and not the gitlab package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Auth0 integration in GitLab before 10.3.9, 10.4.x before 10.4.6, and 10.5.x before 10.5.6 has an incorrect omniauth-auth0 configuration, leading to signing in unintended users.
