Description
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 19.0 before 19.1.8, 19.2 before 19.2.6, and 19.3 before 19.3.2 that, under certain conditions could have allowed an authenticated user with developer permissions to execute a policy test pipeline on projects within their group and access protected CI/CD variables restricted to higher-privileged roles, due to insufficient scope validation.
