CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedGitLab versions prior to 19.0.6, 19.1.4, and 19.2.2 are vulnerable to a high-severity authorization flaw that allows authenticated users with developer-role permissions to execute CI/CD pipelines on protected branches without the necessary push permissions. This could lead to unauthorized code changes and potential security breaches. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize updating their GitLab installations to mitigate this risk.
Original NVD Description
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 19.0 before 19.0.6, 19.1 before 19.1.4, and 19.2 before 19.2.2 that under certain conditions could have allowed an authenticated user with developer-role permissions to execute CI/CD pipelines on a protected branch without the required push permissions due to improper authorization in pipeline reference validation.
