CVE-2026-55060: GoCD is vulnerable to authorization bypass via support process list API

Published Sep 21, 2026
·
Updated

GoCD is a continuous deliver server. From 13.1.0 until 26.1.0, the /go/api/support/processlist endpoint does not enforce its intended administrator-only authorization. An authenticated internal user can query the endpoint while source control child processes are running and view command-line arguments, usernames, remote material URLs, and internal material paths for materials the user cannot otherwise access. Exploitation depends on unpredictable process timing, and credentials, environment variables, and user-defined secrets remain masked or omitted. This issue is fixed in version 26.1.0.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who can exploit this issue?

An authenticated internal GoCD user can exploit it; administrator privileges are not required. The affected endpoint is intended to be administrator-only but does not enforce that restriction.

2

What information could be exposed?

An attacker may view command-line arguments, usernames, remote material URLs, and internal material paths associated with source-control child processes. Credentials, environment variables, and user-defined secrets are masked or omitted.

3

What conditions are required for exploitation?

A source-control child process must be running when the authenticated user queries the process-list endpoint. Exploitation depends on unpredictable process timing, making successful observation conditional on catching an active process.

4

Which versions are affected and how can the issue be remediated?

GoCD versions from 13.1.0 until 26.1.0 are affected. Upgrade to version 26.1.0, which fixes the authorization enforcement issue.
