Critical GitLab Flaw Exposes Public Projects to Deletion — Two CVEs Patched, Including High-Severity CSRF

CVE-2026-19478 is a critical code injection vulnerability in GitLab CE/EE that allows an unauthenticated attacker to modify or delete public projects and user data by abusing a GraphQL directive. A second high-severity issue, CVE-2026-19650, involves cross-site request forgery in the GraphQL multiplex query handler. This article examines how the critical vulnerability works, the availability of a public proof-of-concept, the potential impact on self-managed instances, the affected versions, and the security updates released to remediate both issues.
