Summary

CVE-2025-2242 is an access control vulnerability affecting older versions of GitLab CE and EE. This issue, which impacts versions 17.4 to 17.8.6, 17.9 to 17.9.3, and 17.10 to 17.10.1, allows a previously instanced-admin user, who has since been demoted to a regular user, to retain elevated privileges over groups and projects. This can potentially lead to unauthorized access and data breaches if exploited. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest versions of GitLab CE and EE to mitigate this vulnerability.
