    GitBook breach: SSO flaw led to production access; all API tokens revoked, rotate integration secrets

    On Nov 2 2026 an attacker used a flaw in GitBook's SSO login flow to create sessions as GitBook staff, pulled credentials for a misconfigured internal GitHub App to reach GitBook's code repositories and a Cloudflare API key, and from there reached production secrets with full infrastructure access. GitBook took its app offline for about 16 hours (20:32 UTC Nov 2 to 11:56 UTC Nov 3), rotated every infrastructure and GitBook-managed customer secret, and invalidated all API tokens. It says the attack targeted one customer, but treats all customer data as exposed: API tokens, integration tokens and secrets, session signing secrets, authenticated-access docs, content, and the ability to act as the GitBook GitHub and GitLab apps in repositories customers had granted. GitBook says it can't tell whether the attacker acted in customer repositories. Billing data and passwords were not affected. Customers should create new API tokens, rotate third-party and integration secrets, regenerate authenticated-access signing keys, re-authenticate the GitBook MCP server, review connected repositories, and check logs for the published IPs.

    Ruby 4.0.9, 3.4.12 and 3.3.13 fix Regexp compiler memory bugs behind GitLab's CVSS 10 RCEs

    Ruby released 4.0.9, 3.4.12 and 3.3.13 on Oct 23 2026 to fix bugs in its Onigmo regular-expression engine (a double free and integer overflows) that GitLab turned into remote code execution on its servers, tracked by GitLab as CVE-2026-89078, CVE-2026-93577, CVE-2026-97229 and CVE-2026-110264. Any Ruby app that compiles a regex from an attacker-controlled string (Regexp.new, Regexp.union, Regexp.compile or /#{input}/) is exposed; Regexp.timeout and pattern-length limits do not protect. Apps that only use their own hard-coded regexes are not affected. Ruby 3.2 and older are end-of-life and get no fix.

    GitLab CVSS 10 unauthenticated RCE via regex compiler (CVE-2026-110264)

    GitLab released a critical patch on Oct 21 2026 for CVE-2026-110264: an integer overflow in the bundled Onigmo / regex compiler that can allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute code on self-managed GitLab. CVSS 10.0; every CE/EE version from 7.0 (2014) is in range. Instances that only applied the Oct 12 regex fix remain vulnerable and must upgrade again.
