GitLab patches maximum-severity path traversal bug in commits API
GitLab issued emergency patches for CVE-2026-85706, a maximum-severity path traversal flaw in its repository commits API that lets unauthenticated attackers read arbitrary files on vulnerable servers. The company also fixed a second critical bug, CVE-2026-87719, an insecure deserialization issue in the GraphQL subscription serializer that could let authenticated Duo Chat users steal credentials and Advanced Search configurations. Both flaws are addressed in versions 19.3.2, 19.2.6, and 19.1.
