Official Description
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 18.2 before 18.8.9, 18.9 before 18.9.5, and 18.10 before 18.10.3 that could have allowed an authenticated user with custom role permissions to demote or remove higher-privileged group members due to improper authorization checks on member management operations.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-4916 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
