CVE-2022-0123 describes a critical vulnerability in GitLab versions prior to 14.4.5, between 14.5.0 and 14.5.3, and between 14.6.0 and 14.6.1, where the platform fails to validate SSL certificates for certain external CI services. This oversight enables Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks, allowing attackers to intercept and potentially manipulate communications with these services. Rated Medium severity with a CVSS score of 6.8, the vulnerability requires low privileges but high attack complexity, potentially leading to high confidentiality and integrity impacts. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or inclusion in CISA's KEV catalog, though it has received some community and media attention.
