Detects attempts to exploit the GitLab commits API via path traversal or direct file path manipulation to access sensitive configuration files or system secrets, such as gitlab-secrets.json, database.yml, or system files like /etc/passwd.
Detects attempts to exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the GitLab commits API, specifically targeting the /api/v4/projects/ repository/commits path. The rule monitors for directory traversal patterns such as .. or url-encoded variations in conjunction with file paths, which could allow unauthorized access to files outside the intended directory.
Detects the creation of a Git branch where the branch name matches the pattern of a 40-character hexadecimal SHA-1 hash. This behavior is associated with the 'Plugin4Shell' technique, which exploits how some git implementations prioritize matching ref names over target commit objects, enabling an attacker to manipulate or swap code in automated systems or AI coding agents that rely on SHA-pinning.
This rule detects instances where common system utilities like notepad.exe or calc.exe are spawned as child processes by PowerShell.exe, specifically when the initiating PowerShell process was spawned by gitlab-runner.exe but the parent process information no longer resolves correctly. This is often indicative of persistence or post-exploitation activities occurring after a CI/CD job has ostensibly finished.
Detects spoofed emails carrying a .patch attachment sent to a GitLab incoming-email merge-request address. Requires Microsoft's composite authentication verdict (CompAuth: fail) -- a lower-noise spoofing signal than raw SPF/DKIM/DMARC -- and excludes sender/recipient pairs already seen corresponding with that token address in the prior 30 days to suppress recurring legitimate contributors.
Detects spoofed emails carrying a .patch attachment sent to a GitLab incoming-email merge-request address. Requires Microsoft's composite authentication verdict (CompAuth: fail) -- a lower-noise spoofing signal than raw SPF/DKIM/DMARC -- and excludes sender/recipient pairs already seen corresponding with that token address in the prior 30 days to suppress recurring legitimate contributors.
Detects unauthenticated path traversal attempts targeting the GitLab repository commits API, specifically checking for URL-encoded and plain path traversal patterns (e.g., '../') in requests to the commits endpoint. This behavior is indicative of attempts to exploit vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-85706 to read arbitrary files outside the repository scope.
Detects incoming HTTP requests attempting to exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the GitLab Commits API (CVE-2026-85706). The rule looks for URI patterns containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../) targeting the repository commits endpoint.
Detects login attempts to source code repositories and developer tooling (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Slack, Visual Studio Code) originating from unmanaged or non-compliant devices, excluding traffic originating from known corporate network ranges.
Detects a burst of new user account creation activity on a self-hosted git repository instance. This pattern is indicative of unauthorized mass account creation, potentially following an initial compromise or exploitation, which is often a precursor to further malicious activities like persistent access or unauthorized code access.

This pattern is indicative of unauthorized mass account creation, potentially following an initial compromise or exploitation, which is often a precursor to further malicious activities like persistent access or unauthorized code access.
Detects anomalous serialized object payloads within authenticated GraphQL subscription requests to GitLab Duo Chat endpoints. This pattern is indicative of exploitation attempts targeting the insecure deserialization vulnerability in GitLab EE (CVE-2026-87719), where malicious payloads are injected into serialized data streams.
Detects repository activity involving the 'FETCH_HEAD' reference, which often indicates automated fetching, local caching, or potential attempts to manipulate or inspect the state of a Git repository during reconnaissance or post-exploitation activities.
Detects a 'force-push' operation in a Git repository where the pushed commit is not cryptographically signed. This behavior is often indicative of repository tampering, such as overwriting commit history to remove audit trails, hide malicious code injection, or facilitate unauthorized repository modifications.
Detects incoming HTTP requests attempting to exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the GitLab Commits API (CVE-2026-85706). The rule looks for URI patterns containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../) targeting the repository commits endpoint.
Detects unauthenticated path traversal attempts targeting the GitLab repository commits API, specifically checking for URL-encoded and plain path traversal patterns (e.g., '../') in requests to the commits endpoint. This behavior is indicative of attempts to exploit vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-85706 to read arbitrary files outside the repository scope.
Detects anomalous credential retrieval activity occurring within 30 minutes of a GitLab Duo Chat GraphQL subscription request. This pattern is indicative of potential exploitation of CVE-2026-87719, which involves insecure deserialization within the GitLab EE GraphQL subscription serializer to facilitate unauthorized credential access.
Detects HTTP GET requests to the GitLab project repository commits API that contain path traversal sequences ('../' or encoded variations). This behavior is characteristic of exploitation attempts targeting vulnerabilities that allow unauthorized file access or directory traversal within the GitLab environment.
