  • GitLab has released urgent security patches addressing multiple vulnerabilities affecting both the Community Edition and the Enterprise Edition.

    The company released versions 18.5.2, 18.4.4, and 18.3.6 to fix critical security issues that could allow attackers to compromise sensitive information and bypass access controls.

    The most concerning vulnerability involves prompt injection attacks in GitLab Duo’s review feature. Attackers can inject hidden malicious prompts directly into merge request comments.

    These hidden instructions trick the AI system into leaking sensitive information from confidential issues. This vulnerability affects GitLab Enterprise Edition versions 17.9 and later, potentially exposing classified project data to unauthorized users.

    Beyond prompt injection, GitLab patched nine additional vulnerabilities ranging from high to low severity.

    CVE IDVulnerability TitleTypeSeverityCVSS Score

    CVE-2025-7736Improper Access Control issue in GitLab PagesAccess ControlLow3.1
    CVE-2025-12983Denial of service issue in markdownDenial of ServiceLow3.1

    cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Kubernetes proxy allows authenticated users to execute malicious scripts, affecting versions 15.10 and later.

    An authorization bypass in workflows lets users remove AI flows belonging to other users, compromising workflow integrity. Information disclosure vulnerabilities also pose serious risks.

    Attackers can access sensitive data through multiple vectors: blocked users establishing GraphQL subscriptions, unauthorized viewing of branch names through access control weaknesses, and information leakage via the packages API endpoint, even when repository access is disabled.

    Additional vulnerabilities include path-traversal issues affecting branch names, improper access control in GitLab Pages that allows OAuth authentication bypasses, and denial-of-service attacks via specially crafted Markdown content.

    GitLab strongly recommends upgrading to the patched versions immediately. The company has already updated GitLab.com, and GitLab Dedicated customers require no action.

    Self-managed installations must prioritize immediate upgrades, as these vulnerabilities directly affect customer data security. The patches include database migrations that may affect upgrade processes.

    Single-node instances will experience downtime during updates, while multi-node installations can implement zero-downtime upgrades using proper procedures.

    GitLab researchers discovered most vulnerabilities through the HackerOne bug bounty program. The company commits to releasing security details 30 days after each patch on its public issue tracker.

    All affected organizations should review their current GitLab versions and deploy patches without delay to protect against these escalating security threats.

  • Microsoft has rolled out enhanced remediation capabilities in Defender for Office 365 (O365), enabling security teams to initiate automated investigations and other actions directly from the Advanced Hunting interface.

    This feature, launched on November 10, 2025, empowers admins and analysts to respond to email threats more swiftly without requiring policy modifications.​

    The new actions Submit to Microsoft, add entries to the Tenant Allow/Block List, and Initiate Automated Investigation—were previously limited to the Threat Explorer tool but are now integrated into Advanced Hunting.

    This allows for programmatic threat hunting using custom Kusto Query Language (KQL) queries, streamlining workflows for security operations centers (SOCs).

    By bringing these tools together, Microsoft addresses customer feedback, reducing the time needed to triage and remediate malicious emails.​

    Microsoft Defender for O365

    Advanced Hunting, part of Microsoft Defender XDR, already provides deep visibility into cross-domain threats across email, endpoints, and identities. With this update, users can select query results and trigger responses contextually based on message delivery status, such as purging from inboxes or quarantines.

    For bulk selections exceeding 100 messages, options like email purge and proposed remediations remain available, ensuring scalability for large-scale incidents. Threat Explorer continues to operate independently, providing complementary views of real-time detections.​

    Microsoft Defender for O365
    Microsoft Defender for O365

    This rollout affects admins and security analysts leveraging Microsoft Defender XDR, with actions enabled by default across worldwide tenants.

    No user interface removal is possible, but existing administrative policies, including role-based access control (RBAC), are fully respected to maintain compliance. Organizations can scope access via the Microsoft 365 Defender portal under Settings > Permissions > Roles, preventing unauthorized use.​

    To prepare, teams should audit current hunting queries and integrate the new actions into playbooks for automated responses. Communicating these changes to SOC stakeholders and providing targeted training will minimize disruptions.

    For instance, updating documentation on initiating automated investigations can accelerate adoption, especially in environments handling high volumes of phishing or malware-laden emails.​

    The enhancement aligns with broader trends in automated investigation and response (AIR) in Defender for O365 Plan 2, where remediation clusters around malicious files or URLs for faster threat neutralization.

    By default, AIR actions require approval, but configurations for auto-remediation on message clusters can further reduce manual overhead, though clusters over 10,000 items prompt reviews. In Advanced Hunting schemas like EmailPostDeliveryEvents, auto-remediated items appear with ActionType “Automated Remediation” and ActionTrigger “Automation,” aiding forensic analysis.​

    This update maintains proactive defense in an era of sophisticated email-based attacks, such as ransomware and business email compromise.
