CVE-2024-7102Network attack vector

Authenticated pipeline execution as another user

Published Feb 13, 2025 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Execution with unnecessary privileges in GitLab 16.4 through 17.4 allows remote authenticated users to trigger pipelines as another user. GitLab has not publicly disclosed the code path or authorization error that permits pipeline execution under another user's identity. A low-privileged account and unspecified circumstances are required; the pipeline can access data and modify resources with the impersonated user's rights.
