Send GitLab an email, push to main
GitLab's private incoming-email feature can be abused to push code to main and trigger CI/CD pipelines without authentication — bypassing IP restrictions across all linked repositories.
Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below
GitLab gives you a private email address to create issues. If leaked, anyone who has it can push code, execute CI/CD jobs, and bypass IP restrictions across all of your public and private projects. Category: Research
Editorial Analysis
DevOps teams relying on GitLab's default configuration may unknowingly expose a bypass that allows unauthenticated code injection into production pipelines.
Immediately audit and disable GitLab incoming email-to-repository features or rotate private email addresses and enforce strict branch protections.
A GitLab design weakness could let attackers push malicious code into production pipelines via a single leaked email address.
