"GitLab Warns of Critical Pipeline Execution Vulnerability"

GitLab has released critical updates for multiple vulnerabilities, one of which enables an attacker to trigger pipelines as arbitrary users under certain conditions. As part of GitLab's Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) system, the pipelines are automated workflows used in the building, testing, and deployment of code. They automate repetitive tasks and ensure codebase changes are tested and deployed consistently. The critical vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute environment stop actions as the owner of the stop action job. The flaw's severity stems from its potential for remote exploitation, the lack of user interaction, and the low privileges needed to abuse it. This article continues to discuss the potential exploitation and impact of the critical pipeline execution vulnerability.
