GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 18.0 before 19.0.5, 19.1 before 19.1.3, and 19.2 before 19.2.1 that under certain conditions could have allowed an authenticated user to modify CI/CD configuration belonging to another user due to improper validation of user-supplied attributes when processing pipeline schedule inputs.
CVE-2026-12436
HIGHPre-NVD 8.48.4
EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence
This high-severity CVE scores 8.4 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
