Descriptions

A hardcoded password was set for accounts registered using an OmniAuth provider (e.g. OAuth, LDAP, SAML) in GitLab CE/EE versions 14.7 prior to 14.7.7, 14.8 prior to 14.8.5, and 14.9 prior to 14.9.2 allowing attackers to potentially take over accounts

En GitLab CE/EE versiones 14.7 anteriores a 14.7.7, 14.8 anteriores a 14.8.5 y 14.9 anteriores a 14.9.2, era establecida una contraseƱa embebida para las cuentas registradas mediante un proveedor de OmniAuth (por ejemplo, OAuth, LDAP, SAML), permitiendo a atacantes tomar el control de las cuentas

Gitlab versions 14.9 prior to 14.9.2, 14.8 prior to 14.8.5, and 14.7 prior to 14.7.7 suffer from a bypass vulnerability due to having set a hardcoded password for accounts registered using an OmniAuth provider.
