CVE-2026-0723 is a high-severity authentication flaw in GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition caused by an unchecked return value in authentication services. The issue affects GitLab CE/EE versions 18.6 before 18.6.4, 18.7 before 18.7.2, and 18.8 before 18.8.2. An attacker who already knows a victim's credential ID can submit forged device responses during the authentication flow and bypass two-factor authentication protections. Successful exploitation can result in unauthorized access to the targeted GitLab account.
