GitLab patches critical regex compiler integer overflow RCE flaw
What happened.GitLab released emergency security updates for a maximum-severity remote code execution flaw in its regular expression compiler. The defect affects all Community and Enterprise editions across twelve years of releases.
Why it matters.Self-managed GitLab servers operate at the center of enterprise deployment pipelines and maintain direct access to proprietary source code and production credentials. Organizations running vulnerable self-hosted instances must apply the vendor maintenance releases immediately to prevent perimeter breach and lateral compromise.
