Vulnerability Details
Technical details and impact analysis
Hi,
While experimenting with parser bypass techniques, I discovered that RDoc markup could be used to inject a stored JavaScript payload into a project `README.rdoc` file.
Please note that this issue is separate to my earlier report #200565 (XSS with AsciiDoc markup), marked as duplicate.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a new GitLab project
2. Initialise the project by creating a `README` file
3. Set the file title to `README.rdoc`
4. Paste the below Payload into the file
5. Commit the file to the project and click on the "XSS" link
## Proof of Concept Payload
`XSS[blocked:alert(1)] <-- click to test`
Thanks!
