CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition up to 17.4.4/17.5.2/17.6.0. Affected is an unknown part of the component cargo.toml File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a algorithmic complexity vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-407. An algorithm in a product has an inefficient worst-case computational complexity that may be detrimental to system performance and can be triggered by an attacker, typically using crafted manipulations that ensure that the worst case is being reached. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

A Denial of Service (DoS) issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions prior to 12.6 prior to 17.4.5, 17.5 prior to 17.5.3, and 17.6 prior to 17.6.1. An attacker could cause a denial of service with a crafted cargo.toml file.

The weakness was disclosed by l33thaxor as 480900. The advisory is shared for download at gitlab.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2024-8237 since 08/27/2024. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.
