Incorrect Authorization in GitLab EE DAST Site Profile Management

IdentifiersCVE-2026-11379CWE-863

CVE-2026-11379 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability in GitLab Enterprise Edition affecting all versions from 13.11 before 18.11.6, 19.0 before 19.0.3, and 19.1 before 19.1.1. The flaw exists in DAST site profile management, where authorization checks are insufficient, allowing a user with the Developer role to access and exfiltrate DAST site profile secrets under certain conditions. The issue is described by GitLab as impacting DAST scanner and site profile management and results in exposure of secrets associated with DAST site profiles.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows a Developer-role user to obtain sensitive DAST site profile secrets that should not be accessible to that role. This can result in disclosure of credentials, tokens, or other secret material stored in the DAST site profile configuration, potentially enabling further access to scanned applications, related environments, or downstream systems depending on how those secrets are used.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, restrict Developer-role access to projects and groups that use DAST site profiles containing sensitive secrets, minimize the number of users permitted to manage or interact with DAST configuration, review and rotate any secrets stored in DAST site profiles that may have been exposed, and monitor for unauthorized access or export of DAST-related configuration data. These are risk-reduction measures only; the primary mitigation is upgrading to a fixed version.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade GitLab EE to a fixed release: 18.11.6, 19.0.3, 19.1.1, or later. GitLab stated that self-managed installations should upgrade immediately. GitLab.com was already patched at the time of disclosure, and GitLab Dedicated customers were reported as requiring no action.
