GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

FKIE_CVE-2026-61462

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-07-13 18:16 - Updated: 2026-07-13 20:03
Severity
8.6 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
Summary
mcp-gitlab contains a path traversal vulnerability in the job_id parameter of build/index.js that allows attackers to redirect GitLab API requests to arbitrary endpoints. Attackers can supply crafted job_id values like ../../../user to escape the intended path prefix and access arbitrary GitLab API resources using the operator's personal access token.
