Description
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 17.0 before 19.2.8, 19.3 before 19.3.5, and 19.4 before 19.4.2 that, under certain conditions, could have allowed an authenticated user holding a custom role with compliance framework administration permissions to configure and execute a specially crafted compliance pipeline across group projects due to improper privilege assignment.
