Summary
GitLab CE/EE versions from 19.0 before 19.0.6, 19.1 before 19.1.4, and 19.2 before 19.2.2 have a vulnerability that under certain conditions could allow an authenticated user with developer-role permissions to execute CI/CD pipelines on a protected branch without the required push permissions due to improper authorization in pipeline reference validation.
