CVE-2021-39935GitLab — request forgery through the pipeline lint endpoint

GitLab from 10.5 before 14.3.6, 14.4.4 and 14.5.2 lets an unauthorised outside user make the server issue requests of their choosing through the pipeline lint endpoint.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade GitLab to 14.3.6, 14.4.4 or 14.5.2 now; review outbound requests from the server and restrict what the instance may reach internally.
