CVE-2025-10282: BBOT's gitlab.py exposes globally configured "gitlab" API key

October 27, 2025

bbot’s gitlab.py sends the user’s “gitlab” API key to on-premise GitLab instances.

If a user has configured a gitlab.com API key using this mechanism, it may be leaked to an attacker-controlled server.
