Over 5,300 GitLab servers exposed to zero-click account takeover attacks | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

Over 5,300 internet-exposed GitLab instances are vulnerable to CVE-2023-7028, a zero-click account takeover flaw GitLab warned about earlier this month.

The critical (CVSS score: 10.0) flaw allows attackers to send password reset emails for a targeted account to an attacker-controlled email address, allowing the threat actor to change the password and take over the account.

Although the flaw does not bypass two-factor authentication (2FA), it is a significant risk for any accounts not protected by this extra security mechanism.
