GHSA-99jv-8292-2hpm
eventing-gitlab vulnerable to denial of service, caused by improper enforcement of the timeout on individual read operations
Blast Radius
knative.dev/eventing-gitlabReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
The eventing-gitlab cluster-local server doesn't set ReadHeaderTimeout which could lead do a DDoS attack, where a large group of users send requests to the server causing the server to hang for long enough to deny it from being available to other users, also know as a Slowloris attack.
Patches
Fix in v1.12.1 and v1.11.3.
Credits
The vulnerability was reported by Ada Logics during an ongoing security audit of Knative involving Ada Logics, the Knative maintainers, OSTIF and CNCF.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for knative.dev/eventing-gitlab. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of knative.dev/eventing-gitlab has shipped for GHSA-99jv-8292-2hpm yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-99jv-8292-2hpm is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-99jv-8292-2hpm. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-99jv-8292-2hpm in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-99jv-8292-2hpm across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
