CVE-2024-13041 Information

Description

An issue was discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 16.4 prior to 17.5.5 starting from 17.6 prior to 17.6.3 and starting from 17.7 prior to 17.7.1. When a user is created via the SAML provider the external groups setting overrides the external provider configuration. As a result the user may not be marked as external thereby giving those users access to internal projects or groups.
