GitLab CI adversary

Reviews GitLab CI for privileged runners, secret leakage, mutable images, release safety, and unpinned includes.

Goals

The adversary is designed to produce a small number of high-confidence, actionable findings grounded in concrete repository evidence. Its review should be deterministic where possible, explicit about impact, and quiet when the available evidence does not justify a finding.

Scope

It evaluates GitLab CI configuration, includes, jobs, scripts, runner privilege, secret exposure, caches, and release behavior.

The complete detector or review inventory is maintained in CHECKS.md.

Boundaries

It owns CI configuration in this platform domain. Application code, container definitions, and infrastructure resources remain with their specialist adversaries.
