GitLab 18.2.4 Security Patch Released – Upgrade Now

GitLab 18.2.4: Security and Stability Comes First

The latest GitLab security release, 18.2.4, has been published on 18 August 2025, bringing with it critical fixes to maintain the reliability and security of your DevSecOps lifecycle. As always, it’s strongly recommended to upgrade as soon as possible.

This release addresses several important concerns, most notably:

• Important bug resolution in gitlab-rails, impacting service reliability and authentication workflows.
• Dependable stability updates across the self-managed and hosted GitLab environments, including GitLab Community Edition (CE) and GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE).

All changes included in this patch are strategic fixes rather than new features—focusing on the uninterrupted performance of your GitLab instance.

Update Recommendations: If you’re currently operating any version in the 18.2.x series, upgrading to 18.2.4 is the best way to stay secure and aligned with GitLab’s latest resilience improvements.
