CVE-2024-5423 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition caused by multiple conditions in the Banzai pipeline that can be abused to trigger resource exhaustion. The issue affects GitLab CE/EE versions starting from 1.0 before 17.0.6, starting from 17.1 before 17.1.4, and starting from 17.2 before 17.2.2. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to submit input that causes excessive consumption of server resources during Banzai pipeline processing, resulting in degraded availability or service interruption.
