hol-guard supply-chain scanAllocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in GitLab affects GitLab/GitLab (generic). Severity is high. GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 11.8 before 19.0.5, 19.1 before 19.1.3, and 19.2 before 19.2.1 that under certain conditions could have allowed an unauthenticated user to cause a denial of service due to insufficient resource throttling when processing merge request discussions.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in generic. A high vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
