Executive Summary

This vulnerability in GitLab Enterprise Edition affects certain versions before specific patch releases. It allows an authenticated user, under certain conditions, to trigger Duo AI workflows that run under another user's identity. This happens due to improper user identity resolution when triggering these workflow runners.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized actions being performed under another user's identity within GitLab. This can result in compromised integrity and confidentiality of workflows, potentially allowing an attacker to execute actions or access data they should not have permission for.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should upgrade GitLab EE to a fixed version. Specifically, update to version 18.10.7 or later if you are on the 18.8 to 18.10 series, 18.11.4 or later if you are on the 18.11 series, or 19.0.1 or later if you are on the 19.0 series.
