CVE ID request (FREE SAAS)

Introduced in GitLab 13.4, only for public projects on GitLab.com.

A CVE identifier is assigned to a publicly-disclosed software vulnerability. GitLab is a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA). For any public project you can request a CVE identifier (ID).

Assigning a CVE ID to a vulnerability in your project helps your users stay secure and informed. For example, dependency scanning tools can detect when vulnerable versions of your project are used as a dependency.

A common vulnerability workflow is:

  1. Request a CVE for a vulnerability.
  2. Reference the assigned CVE identifier in release notes.
  3. Publish the vulnerability's details after the fix is released.

Prerequisites

To submit a CVE ID Request the following prerequisites must be met:

  • The project is hosted on GitLab.com.
  • The project is public.
  • You are a maintainer of the project.
  • The vulnerability's issue is confidential.

Submit a CVE ID request

To submit a CVE ID request:

  1. Go to the vulnerability's issue and select Create CVE ID Request. The new issue page of the GitLab CVE project opens.

    CVE ID request button

  2. In the Title box, enter a brief description of the vulnerability.

  3. In the Description box, enter the following details:

    • A detailed description of the vulnerability
    • The project's vendor and name
    • Impacted versions
    • Fixed versions
    • The vulnerability class (a CWE identifier)
    • A CVSS v3 vector

    New CVE ID request issue

GitLab updates your CVE ID request issue when:

  • Your submission is assigned a CVE.
  • Your CVE is published.
  • MITRE is notified that your CVE is published.
  • MITRE has added your CVE in the NVD feed.

CVE assignment

After a CVE identifier is assigned, you can reference it as required. Details of the vulnerability submitted in the CVE ID request are published according to your schedule.
