Protected environment access via ignored CI/CD visibility
Published Jun 25, 2026 · Updated Jun 25, 2026
Incorrect authorization in GitLab EE allows remote authenticated users with custom roles to access protected environment configurations. The Protected Environments API applies custom-role permissions without enforcing the project's disabled CI/CD visibility setting. A high-privilege account with the relevant custom role can view, create, or delete those configurations, exposing or changing deployment controls; GitLab has not published finer code-level details.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=17.9 <18.11.6
- Affected versionversion=19.0 <19.0.3
- Affected versionversion=19.1 <19.1.1
