## How to fix

- Fixed in GitLab CE/EE 19.2.8, 19.3.5, 19.4.2

## Technical details

GitLab Pages failed to sanitize request data before writing it to log files and error tracking events, allowing secrets and access tokens to persist in plaintext. An authenticated attacker with access to Pages logs could retrieve these credentials. The vulnerability requires prior authentication and log access but poses a direct path to credential theft.

## Affected products

- GitLab GitLab Community Edition 12.0 to 19.2.7, 19.3.0 to 19.3.4, 19.4.0 to 19.4.1
- GitLab GitLab Enterprise Edition 12.0 to 19.2.7, 19.3.0 to 19.3.4, 19.4.0 to 19.4.1
