Attackers can exploit multiple high-severity vulnerabilities in GitLab to achieve account takeover, cause denial of service, add unauthorised email addresses and execute arbitrary client-side code. Patch immediately.
Background
GitLab has released security updates addressing multiple high-severity vulnerabilities affecting GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE). These vulnerabilities can lead to full account takeover, unauthenticated denial of service, unauthorised email addition and arbitrary client-side code execution.
These vulnerabilities have a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS v3.1) score of 8.7 for CVE-2026-6552 and CVE-2026-10087, 7.5 for CVE-2026-7250, and 7.3 for CVE-2026-8589, out of 10.
Impact
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could lead to the following:
CVE-2026-6552: Due to improper authorisation in the Group SAML identity management functionality, an authenticated user with group owner role could take over another group member’s GitLab account.
