Summary

CVE-2026-2370 is a high-severity Improper Handling of Parameters (CWE-233) vulnerability in Gitlab Gitlab. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 36th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-2370 is a vulnerability in GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE), affecting all versions from 14.3 prior to 18.8.7, 18.9 prior to 18.9.3, and 18.10 prior to 18.10.1. The flaw impacts Jira Connect installations due to improper authorization checks (CWE-233), which allow an authenticated user with minimal workspace permissions to obtain installation credentials and impersonate the GitLab application.

An authenticated attacker with minimal workspace permissions can exploit this issue remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring no user interaction (UI:N) and maintaining unchanged scope (S:U). Exploitation yields high confidentiality (C:H) and integrity (I:H) impacts with no availability effects (A:N), as indicated by the CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1, enabling the attacker to access sensitive credentials and act as the GitLab app.

GitLab has remediated the vulnerability through patches, including the release of GitLab 18.10.1. Further details on the fix and issue tracking are provided in the GitLab patch release notes at https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2026/03/25/patch-release-gitlab-18-10-1-released/, the internal work item at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/589635, and the HackerOne disclosure report at https://hackerone.com/reports/3522829.

finds

Security testing can detect missing-parameter issues but does not prevent them at design time.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes input validation and parameter handling requirements that reduce improper parameter handling.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for validation of inputs and parameters, mitigating missing or undefined arguments.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly address proper handling of function parameters and input validation.
