CVE-2022-3411 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. A lack of length validation in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.4 before 15.6.7, 15.7 before 15.7.6, and 15.8 before 15.8.1 allows an authenticated attacker to create a large Issue description via GraphQL which, when repeatedly requested, saturates CPU usage.. EPSS estimates a 1.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
