Rollback-setting modification via insufficient authorization checks
Published Oct 13, 2026 · Updated Oct 13, 2026
Authorization bypass in GitLab EE allows remote authenticated users to modify CI/CD deployment rollback settings via project settings. The project CI/CD settings update path accepts rollback-setting changes without sufficient permission checks; the specific endpoint and faulty code are not publicly established by the accessible sources. An authenticated account is required, but the exact role and additional conditions are undisclosed; the documented consequence is unauthorized modification of rollback configuration, not code execution.

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=13.6 <19.2.8
- Affected versionversion=19.3 <19.3.5
- Affected versionversion=19.4 <19.4.2
