Integer Overflow or Wraparound in GitLab
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (gitlab 19.4.2, 19.3.5, 19.2.8), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 19.2 before 19.2.8, 19.3 before 19.3.5, and 19.4 before 19.4.2 that, under certain conditions, could have allowed an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on the GitLab server via a specially crafted regular expression in a CI/CD configuration, due to insufficient regular expression validation.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-97229 Advisory: Integer Overflow or Wraparound in GitLab IDs: CVE-2026-97229 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-97229 (revision 2, source checked 31 Oct 2026, 07:10 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Unrated Exploitation: confirmed: listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: gitlab 19.4.2, 19.3.5, 19.2.8. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Bitnami gitlab: affected >= 19.2.0, < 19.2.8; >= 19.3.0, < 19.3.5; >= 19.4.0, < 19.4.2; fixed in 19.2.8, 19.3.5, 19.4.2 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Bitnami gitlab: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on gitlab. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/BIT-gitlab-2026-97229 (OSV record BIT-gitlab-2026-97229 lists affected ranges: Bitnami gitlab >=19.2.0 =19.3.0 =19.4.0 <19.4.2 (fixed)) - Verified: https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/feeds/known_exploited_vulnerabilities.json (CISA added CVE-2026-97229 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-10-29.) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
