GitLab has acknowledged CVE-2024-3094, a security vulnerability where the xz-utils lossless compression software suite was compromised with malicious code, impacting versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1. After thorough examination, GitLab confirmed that these versions are not utilized in GitLab.com, GitLab Dedicated, or the default self-hosted software packages. However, self-hosted GitLab customers are advised to inspect their systems for the affected versions and consider downgrading to version 5.4.x until a secure update is available or the current versions are deemed safe. In cases where the compromised versions are present, it's recommended to shut down and replace the hosts and containers to prevent potential security breaches. Additionally, GitHub, owned by Microsoft, has disabled the XZ Utils repository managed by the Tukaani Project, citing a breach of GitHub's terms of service.
