CVE	Severity	Published▾	Status	Exploitation	Description
CVE-2026-2725	Medium	2026-05-13	Not applicable	Proof of concept only	Incorrect authorization in the "submitted together" feature in Gerrit versions 2.12 and later allows an authenticated attacker with force push permissions on a secondary branch to bypass code review and forcefully submit code to restricted branches via a crafted submission matching the "topic" tag of an unapproved change.
CVE-2021-22553	High	2021-02-17	Not applicable	No public exploit	Any git operation is passed through Jetty and a session is created. No expiry is set for the session and Jetty does not automatically dispose of the session. Over multiple git actions, this can lead to a heap memory exhaustion for Gerrit servers. We recommend upgrading Gerrit to any of the versions listed above.
CVE-2020-8920	Low	2020-12-10	No exploit published	No public exploit	An information leak vulnerability exists in Gerrit versions prior to 2.14.22, 2.15.21, 2.16.25, 3.0.15, 3.1.10, 3.2.5 where an overoptimization with the FilteredRepository wrapper skips the verification of access on All-Users repositories, allowing an attacker to get read access to all users' personal information associated with their accounts.
CVE-2020-8919	Low	2020-12-10	Not applicable	No public exploit	An information leak vulnerability exists in Gerrit versions prior to 2.15.21, 2.16.25, 3.0.15, 3.1.10, 3.2.5 where a missing access check on the branch REST API allows an attacker with only the default set of priviledges to read all other user's personal account data as well as sub-trees with restricted access.
