An issue was discovered in GitLab EE starting from version 16.7 before 17.0.6, version 17.1 before 17.1.4 and 17.2 before 17.2.2 that allowed bypassing the password re-entry requirement to approve a policy.
The authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.
