CVE-2024-8631: GitLab Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This CVE describes a critical security flaw in GitLab EE where a user with the Admin Group Member custom role could escalate their privileges. Affected versions include all versions from 16.6 before 17.1.7, 17.2 before 17.2.5, and 17.3 before 17.3.2.
