GitLab 18.5.1 Fails to Import LFS Files from Github via Import Project Flow

Summary

Gitlab 18.5.1-ee Fails to import lfs files from Github via UI Import Project Flow

Steps to reproduce

• Create private repo with at least 1 lfs object on Github.com
• Launch 18.5.1 enterprise GitLab instance (I did this via the docker setup as well as linux package install methods via gitlab-environment-toolkit)
• Enable imports for Github in gitlab
• Follow the flow: Create New Project -> Import Project -> Input github PAT with proper permissions -> Select repo with lfs files and import.
• After import check to see if lfs files have been properly imported.

Example Project

Don't have an example project but one can be created with simply 1 lfs file to repro.

What is the current bug behavior?

No lfs files are imported, putting the repo in a bad state.

What is the expected correct behavior?

I would expect the lfs files to be imported properly.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

18.4.3 (lfs works)

18.5.1 (lfs import missing)
