CVE-2026-61462Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary API reads via unencoded path IDs

Published Jul 13, 2026 · Updated Jul 13, 2026

Path traversal in zereight mcp-gitlab 2.1.18 allows attackers to read arbitrary GitLab API resources through pipeline and job tools. build/index.js inserts job and pipeline IDs into request paths without segment encoding, so URL normalization collapses crafted ../ sequences. An attacker must control a pipeline or job tool argument; the request stays on the configured GitLab host and uses the operator token.
