Official Description
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 14.4 before 18.7.6, 18.8 before 18.8.6, and 18.9 before 18.9.2 that could have allowed an authenticated user with group import permissions to create labels in private projects due to improper authorization validation in the group import process under certain circumstances.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-1663 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
