CVE-2020-10977
a vulnerability classified as critical has been found in gitlab community edition and enterprise edition up to 12.9 (Bug Tracking Software). This affects an unknown functionality of the component Project Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The software uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the software does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
