GitLab disclosed a critical (CVSS 10.0) zero-click account takeover vulnerability (CVE-2023-7028) affecting multiple 16.x releases; patches were released on 2024-01-11 but ShadowServer reported 5,379 exposed instances still vulnerable, placing affected servers at high risk for account takeover, supply-chain compromise, and code/API secret disclosure. Administrators are advised to apply updates, enable 2FA, rotate secrets if compromised, and use provided log-detection tips to check for exploitation.
