Versions of the package github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/components/server/go/pkg/lib before main-gha.27122; versions of the package github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/components/ws-proxy/pkg/proxy before main-gha.27122; versions of the package github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/install/installer/pkg/components/auth before main-gha.27122; versions of the package github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/install/installer/pkg/components/public-api-server before main-gha.27122; versions of the package github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/install/installer/pkg/components/server before main-gha.27122; versions of the package @gitpod/gitpod-protocol before 0.1.5-main-gha.27122 are vulnerable to Cookie Tossing due to a missing __Host- prefix on the _gitpod_io_jwt2_ session cookie. This allows an adversary who controls a subdomain to set the value of the cookie on the Gitpod control plane, which can be assigned to an attacker’s own JWT so that specific actions taken by the victim (such as connecting a new Github organization) are actioned by the attackers session.

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
