The vulnerability

GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions contain an improper access control vulnerability. This allows an attacker to trigger password reset emails to be sent to an unverified email address to ultimately facilitate an account takeover.

Required action

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

US federal civilian agencies were required to act by 22 May 2024 under BOD 22-01. The deadline is a compliance date, not a measure of severity — it says nothing about how dangerous the flaw is to anyone else.
