CVE-2026-13319: GitLab authorization bypass in group milestones API

CVE-2026-13319 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-10-22

GitLab, a web-based platform for managing software development projects, contains a flaw in its group milestones API that allows authenticated users to read sensitive metadata from private projects they don't have access to. An attacker with any GitLab account could discover project names, milestone titles, descriptions, and internal paths from confidential projects across the entire instance without permission.

Technologies: GitLab CE, GitLab EE. Vendors: GitLab.

Technical details

The group milestones API endpoint lacks proper authorization checks on a user-supplied project filter parameter, allowing an authenticated attacker to enumerate and retrieve milestone metadata from arbitrary private projects. The vulnerability requires authentication but no project membership. A fix is available in versions 19.5.1, 19.4.3, 19.3.6, and earlier patch releases of affected branches.
