Official Description
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 18.8 before 18.9.7, 18.10 before 18.10.6, and 18.11 before 18.11.3 that could have allowed an authenticated user with control of a virtual registry upstream to make requests to internal hosts due to improper validation.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-7471 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
