CVE-2025-11702 is a high-severity improper access control vulnerability in the Runner API of GitLab Enterprise Edition. The flaw affects GitLab EE versions 17.1 before 18.3.5, 18.4 before 18.4.3, and 18.5 before 18.5.1. Insufficient authorization checks in runner-management API functionality could allow an authenticated attacker with specific project-level permissions to bypass intended project boundaries and hijack project runners associated with other projects. Because runners execute CI/CD jobs on behalf of projects, successful exploitation could let an attacker cause those runners to operate in an unauthorized project context.
