CVE-2026-55632: GoCD internal pipeline structure API information disclosure

CVE-2026-55632 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-09-23

GoCD is a continuous delivery server used to automate software build and deployment pipelines. An authentication bypass in its pipeline configuration autocompletion API allowed lower-privileged users to enumerate usernames and role names without administrator access, potentially facilitating targeted attacks. The vulnerability does not expose which roles are assigned to users or allow data modification, but increases attack surface for credential-based attacks.

Technologies: ThoughtWorks GoCD. Vendors: ThoughtWorks.

Technical details

The internal pipeline structure API endpoint used for autocompletion returned user and role data to any authenticated user instead of restricting access to administrators. An attacker with any valid authentication could enumerate configured usernames and available role names by querying the endpoint during pipeline, template, environment, or user-preference configuration editing. The endpoint is read-only and does not reveal role assignments, limiting immediate impact but enabling reconnaissance for privilege escalation or social engineering attacks.
